Terêna has Terêna words for 1, 2, 3 and 10 only. The other numbers use Portuguese plus a Terêna auxiliary. The bigger numbers tend to follow Portuguese, but sometime people say pi'aa yéhixoku 'two tens' but are more likely to say 'vinti' in Portuguese. Note on transcriptions and stress marksː There are two stress marks. The acute marks ( á ) the accented syllable, consonant following the accent is long and the pitch stays steady. The circumflex (ô) means that that syllable is stronger with a falling pitch on the lengthened vowel.
