ACM10: 200 = otu akpa ego(very old Igbo) Wow; my mother used this term a lot. Nnu ego ili n'ego nabo=four hundred,two naira. Nnu ego ise= two hundred. I have never heard my mother use "puku","nari" nor "nde". Those are more like the modern invention. |
Re: What Is Million In, Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo Etc Etc?. by ACM10: 11:36am On Sep 22, 2012 |
NRI PRIEST: You are right! Sort of mixed up in my head. My granny used the term "nnu" a lot. But I can't actually translate it to real figure. I'm so sure that N200 is "ofu akpa ego" |

ACM10: Which one is "nnu"?400. This is where traditional count stops, before million, billion etc. became recently introduced. |
