system) are pointed to. Though with the first five numbers, one can bends down the appropriate finger. The ones down are counted.

1. maime (though the pinky is krarulo), 2. areme, 3. magufe (the u being a lax high back vowel), 4. amitai (ami is hand/arm, tai is a bundle, so with all the fingers down it's a bundle of fingers), 5. yaritu (whether significant or not, yari is someone else's father), 6. kruitu (ami krui is the wrist) one either points to it or bends the wrist forward, 7. fritarito (forearm), 8. amekaruto (elbow), 9. poaiomuito (bicep), 10. abatito (anterior deltoid), 11. totuto (pectoral) (first o is a lax mid front that's swung 'way in toward a central position; the u is the same as in magufe), 12. detebiato (sternum). The traditional system continues like this:

13. neitotuto (nei meaning the far/other side, as neikrotu is the other side of a body

of water), 14. neiabatito, 15. neipoaiomuito, 16. neiamekaruto, 17. neifritarito, 18. neikruitu, 19. neiyaritu, 20, neiamitai, 21, neimagufe, 22. neiareme, 23. neimaime

Those are the cardinals. One could call it a modulo 24 system, but I've never heard of units of 24. (A half a dozen of them would be gross.). All counting is now modulo 10,
