.
From our last Class we stopped at 50.
50 = Masi Oyi or Masimoyimo
51. = Masi Oyi kene
52. = Masi Oyi Mamo
53 = Masi Oyi Taru
54 = Masi Oyi Nein
55= Masi Oyi Soron
56= Masi Oyi Sendiye
57= Masi Oyi Sonoma
58= Masi Oyi Nina
59= Masi Oyi se
60 = Taru Si
61 = Tarusi kene
70 = Tarusi Oyi
71 = Tarusi Oyi kene
72 = Tarusi Oyi mamo
80 = Nein si or Nein asi
81 = Nein asi mo kene or Nein si kene
82 = Nein si mamo
83 = Nein si Taru
90 = Nein asi mo oyimo or Nein si oyi
100 = Soron si or akpa ekise
200 = Apka
Note
1. Half means Ekise in ijaw. So half of 200 is 100 this make us to say Akpa ekise to be 100.
2. Half of 30 is 15 . I5 is oyi soron or we call it Diye
3. In ijaw we call mo plus . Meaning mo is addition . So if 15 can be 10+5
We say 15 = oyi (10) , soron (5)
Therefore 15 = 10+5 = oyimosoron
200 = Akpa
300 = Akpamo ekise
Note Akpa ekise is 100 while the one with mo which is Akpamo ekise is 300 because the mo as added 100 to akpa ( 200)
400 = Ma Akpa
Ma means two , Apka = 200 .
So Ma × Apka = 2 × 200 = 400
500 = Ma Apka mo ekise
1000 = Soron Akpa
Soron (5) × Akpa (200) = 1000.
