The numerals five, six, ten, one liundred, are clearly compounds of -aM, hand. 

 I presume five is a compound of the stem tea, which is found in the niimeral one in 

 Siciatl nEtcitl'lc, Snanaimuq ns'tx'a, Sk-qo'mic nto'u'i, Lku'ngEn iiB'tsa; so that 

 tcVVlist would mean one hand. Nine may be translated literally ' less one.' 



The same classification that is used in the cardinal numbers is used in indefinite 

 numerals ; for instance —

Distributive Numerals. 



Distributive numerals are formed from the cardinals by means of reduplication. 

 They have the same three classes that were found in the cardinal series.
