gya. 
In ordinary speech it is often not considered necessary to pronounco 
the numbers in full as given, and in such as are composed of tens and 
units, the tens are omitted, because they are sufficiently indicated by 
the connecting syllable. Thus instead of sumcu so rug it is enough to 
say sorug. 
gya has the phul b , which is sounded with the unit in some multiplica¬ 
tions of gya : 100 gya, 200 nyibgya or nibgya , 300 sumgya , 400 zhibgya, 
500 ngabgya, 600 drug gya , 700 dunoya, 800 gyabgya or gyadgya , 900 
rgubgya, 1,000 stong cig or stongthrag cig ; 10,000 = thri cig or thrithso 
cig; 100,000 bum cig or bumthso cig. 
In multiplications of 1,000, 10,000, 100,000, etc., the multiplying unit 
is placed after the higher number : bumtliso sum 300,000. 
There are no connecting syllables between the higher numbers, thus 
1899 s= stong cig gyadgya gubcu gor gu. 
Reduplication of the cardinals. If the number ‘ one ’ be reduplicated, 
its meaning is intensified. Example : mi cig cig iru hleb, only one man has 
come here, cig cig = only, alone, single. 
If another number (than one) be reduplicated, it is referred to several 
possessors, and the reduplication serves to express the pronoun ‘each/ 
Examples: ngala girmo drug thob , I have got six rupees; hlapa hunla 
girmo drug drug thob, each labourer has received six rupees ; phed phed , 
| each. 
Note. —In compound numbers (also in fractional ones) only the latter part of 
the composition is reiterated. Examples: phed ang drug drug , 5^ each; phed
