Usage notes

[edit]

The irregular numeral itchaksraq 'six' does not combine multiplicatively to form higher numbers. For example, 100 is tallimakipiaq 'five score', but 120 is tallimakipiaq iñuiññaq 'five score twenty', not *'six score'. (It is however used additively, as in iñuiññaq itchaksrat '26'.)
