The enumeration of liquid measurements is done by placing the particle xô in front of the liquid quantity; e.g., ixxo [ixxô] 'one xô,' nixo [nixô] 'two,' sango [sanjô] 'three.' Ten xô are itto which is the particle to placed after the numeral; nito means 'twenty xô,' sando 'thirty.' For one tenth of a xô one places the particle go after the numeral; e.g., Ichigo 'one go,' nigo 'two,' sango 'three,' ixxô gogo 'one and one half xô.' Fatto is eighty xô. One hundred xô make ichi cocu. By placing the cocu after numerals one obtains ni cocu 'two hundred xô,' sangocu 'three hundred,' jiccocu 'one thousand,' xencocu 'ten thousand,' ichi mangocu 'one hundred thousand.'
The enumeration of the measurements of human height is achieved by placing fito [firo] after the iomi numerals; e.g., fito firo 'one firo,' futa firo 'two,' jippiro 'ten.' The measurement of a span (palmus) is made by adding xacu to the coie numerals; e.g., ixxacu 'one span, or three spans by the Spanish measuring system,'[[197]] sanjaku 'three.' Goxacu is the same as fito firo which is a measurement we have referred to before. Six xacu make up a measurement called icqen 'one qen,' nicqen [niqen] 'two,' jicqen 'ten,' and sanguen 'three.' From sixty of these measurements one makes a measurement called icchó, that is 'one mountain path,' nicchǒ [nichǒ] 'two,' jichiǒ [jicchǒ] 'ten,' sangiǒ 'three.' From sixty-three [thirty-six] chô, as measured in the northern part of Japan, one obtains ichiri which is one league or one miliar. One enumerates by adding ri to the coie numerals; e.g., niri 'two,' sanri 'three,' gori 'five,' júri 'ten'; iori is 'four,' because xiri means anus.[[198]] Fan michi
means 'a half of a league.' They say; ioco fan miqi tate ichiri [... michi ...] 'a half a ri wide and one ri long,' faba icqen 'the width is one qen,' iofǒ futa firo 'two hiro on all sides.'
The cardinal numbers first, second, etc. are made by adding ban to the coie numerals; e.g., ichi ban 'first,' ni ban 'second.' To these are also added me, as said before; e.g., xi ban me 'fourth.' One may also make the cardinal numbers by placing dai in front of the coie (71 numerals; e.g., daiichi 'first,' daini 'second,' etc.
The enumeration of multiples is done by adding bai to the numbers; e.g., ichibai 'double,' nibai 'triple,' sanbai 'quadruple,'[[199]] fiacu zobai 'one hundred fold.'
The enumeration of the parts from the whole is done by placing buichi after the numeral; e.g., ni buichi 'one from two parts,' san buichi 'one from three parts.'
To indicate one tenth vari is placed after the numeral; e.g., ichi vari 'one from ten parts,' xi vari gobu 'four and one half from ten parts.' Jú buichi is the same as ichi vari.
The enumeration of oars, muskets, and long things made of wood is done by placing chó after the numerals; e.g., icchó 'one oar,' nichó 'two,' sangiǒ 'three,' jichó [jicchó] 'ten.'
The enumeration of fish and fire wood is done by placing con after the numerals;[[200]] e.g., iccon, 'one fish,' sangon 'three,' jiccon 'ten,' fiaccon 'one hundred,' fiacu gojǔ sangon 'one hundred and fifty-three.' This is the amount Saint Peter caught, and even though he caught that number the net did not tear.
The enumeration of leaves of paper and sheets of gold, etc. is done by placing mai after the numeral; e.g., ichimai 'one leaf,' cami gomai 'five leaves of paper.'
