"The Ndom language of New Guinea only has specific names for the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 18, and 36. Everything else has to be built out of those eight basic figures-so the Ndom word for 100, 'nif-thef-abo-tondor-abo-mer-abo-thonith', literally means '(36 x 2) + 18 + 6 + 4'." -- Haggard Hawks ([twitter.com profile] HaggardHawks), 2022-12-11

"'Quatre-vingt dix-neuf' doesn't sound so hard now, does it?" -- Erkhyan Rafosa ([twitter.com profile] Erkhyan), 2022-12-12
