I mou leka te nuva.
“There are ten potatoes on the table.”

Notes: Hooray! That does it for numbers!

Well, except for zero, twenty, twenty-one, etc. But close!

So I think this iku may be an ikuiku, but I can’t remember how… The memory clouds up when the numbers stretch beyond nine, you see… I mean, it probably is, but I can’t see it right now. Maybe it’s two fives on top of one another…? I don’t know; something.
