Eleven would be either umi-kumu-ma-kahi , ten the root and 
one, or umi-akahi-keu, ten one over; this would be continued by 
adding the units to the ten till twenty, which they call iva-karua , 
forty they call kanahaa, for seventy-six they would say forty 
twenty ten and six, and continue counting by forties till 400, 
which they call a rau, then they add till 4000, which they call a 
mdno, 40,000 they call lehu, and 400,000 a kini; beyond this 
we do not know that they carry their calculations: the above 
words are sometimes doubled, as manomano kinikini; they are, 
however, only used thus to express a large but indefinite number. 
Their selection of the number four in calculations is singular; 
thus, 864,895 would be, according to their method of reckoning, 
two kini, or 400,000s, one lehu, or 40,000, six mano, or 4000s, 
two rau, or 400s, two kanaha, or 40s, one umi, or ten and five. 
They calculate time by the moon; allow twelve to a year; have 
a distinct name for every moon, and every night of the moon, 
and reckon the parts of a month by the number of nights, as 
po akoru ainei, nights three ago, instead of three days ago.
