Hi Ismael,
ReplyDeleteI learnt to count from one to ten in old Kuanua for a brief period in my life but I have since forgotten. However, I can only recall the first two numbers which were 'tikeh' (tikai) and 'uradeh' (two). I was wondering if you would be of assistance with the rest of the numbers.
Good suggestion Jane Schulze. The old way of counting (tikeh, uradeh...) is no longer in daily use. However, i will have to do some searching in order to record here.
DeleteCheers!

ReplyDeleteThis is great. Can you also inform regarding ordinal numbers? I only know luaina as first and even that understanding may be off.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion jimbothefirst. Will do another post on Counting using ordinal and cardinal numbers.
