Other comments: Kuvi has a vegisimal system. Kuvi only remains two traditional numerals 1 to 2. Numerals from three to ten are expressed by using the Oriya numerals with the classifier -goʈʈa, numerals from eleven to twenty are expressed by using the Oriya numerals with or without the classifier -goʈʈa. Twenty is salga, but they borrow Oriya word koːɖe to construct compound numerals from 21 to 29. |
