Other commentsː
Oroha has a very regular, base ten counting system, as you can see.
Tanahuru is almost exclusively used in counting, if you count to ten you
use tanahuru (you can also say aawara, but it is rarer), if there are
ten things, you say aawara, never tanahuru; if you are counting past
ten, you will still only use tanahuru for ten, not for twenty *rua
tanahuru. It might be better to translate aawara as 'a group of ten'. |
