It will be remarked in the above, that not only for 3 1 do they 

 say u thirty and one," or " thirty more one ;" and for 45 " forty and 

 five," or " forty more five ;" but that moreover they have several differ- 

 ent terms to express this increment " and, more." We will recapitu- 

 late them. Between 10 and 20, the term is laik; between 20 and 

 30, it is p'hai, which it will be seen is likewise the term for " thirty ;" 

 and from " thirty" upwards each decade has the unit next above its 

 own to represent the increment " and, more." Thus the third decade, 

 that of " thirties," has •' four ;" and for " thirty more one," they say 

 " thirty four one," &c. The fourth decade, or " forties," has " five," 

 and for " forty more five," they say ** forty five five ;" and so on with the 

 rest. Above a hundred, aikhldk represents the same term. 



It would not be easy to give a reason for this peculiarity, unless 

 perhaps that the true " more" of a number is the one immediately
