ToyinDipo:
400 is mostly called Irinwo I think.

Irinwo = Orun-owo= 400 monetary count.

So it is not proper numeracy, rather monetary count.

400=/= 400 naira in proper terms

Fixed for you below! grin Ikpumsky the clown. grin



noneroone, iteghite and iteolu are standard igbo. I never said itenaani is not correct but it's wrong when we are talking of standard igbo. In my dialect, we call one "nnaa" and that does not make it right when we are talking of standard igbo. By the way what's the meaning of Ikpumsky? A nairalander?

The important thing is that it is an Igbo word and it is widely known to mean nine.
