Numbers.
0=NUN

2=SAR
3=RAR
4=TET
5=FUF

567=FUFSESJAJ
8000=KEKMUM
8910=KEKNENKUFNUN
Note: In expressing numbers MUM represents three zeros, not “thousand”. It’s never
KEKMUMNENKUFNUN—you simply don’t need it and it creates confusion and longer words.
MUM is simply there to abbreviate saying NUNNUNNUN
27 Million= SARJAJMUMMUM
5 Trillion= FUFPURTETMUM or FUFMUMMUMMUMMUM
Note: PURXXX(XXX)MUM is a way of indicating a number of MUMs without having to say them all. Properly, you would put the XXX before the PUR but that would lead to confusion with the preceding numbers, so this is a special provision. This doesn’t match the English “Billion,TRIllion etc… which is nothing to do with a 2 or 3, but it’s more accurate and all you have to do is remember the JARRAPUA version is one higher than the English version; PURARMUM is billion, PURTETMUM IS trillion, etc…)
