i have the word for 625 ( 10 000 ) at home, but i'm
ashamed to say i can't remember it . . . 390 625 is
|lehtap| ( 100 000 000 )
when applied to a noun, the smallest place value is
made a suffix and any others are used to define it
|tog| = house
|togek| = 2 houses
|togek bhis| = 7 houses
|togipek| = 50 houses
|togek khipekbisek| = 62 houses
other means of expression are possible, but rare:
|tog bhisek| = 7 houses ( more precise. used for maths
and for emphasis )
|bisek thog| = 7 of a house ( all of them the same or
v similar. you could use this formulation when
shopping : i'ld like four of the red ones : |Lhir khur
that shelb| )
