Update on counting

[Plumps]

Ma frapo,

I got in contact with K. Pawl the other day to ask about how to count when we would say something like "hunter (number) 3", "I search room 5" or "welcome to program 2" etc. Irish uses a slightly different set of numbers for this altogether, so I was curious how Na'vi treated these.
The answer seems simple but I think worth mentioning:

OK . . . about counting things in Na'vi:

Actually, it's easy. There isn't anything exactly equivalent to "hunter number 3"—instead, you just use the ordinal (as opposed to the cardinal) numbers. (Cardinals: one, two, three, . . . ; ordinals: first, second, third, . . . ) So:

hunter number 3 = taronyu apxeyve (or, of course, pxeyvea taronyu)

(If you see any problem with that system, let me know. But I think it's OK.)

Irayo It's really easy

Indeed it is. Would have been more interesting with some other way though  
Oh well well

OK I didn't get it wrong

This is especially important for any haryu out there, since this means "Lesson Number Four" in Na'vi would be Sänumvi aTsìve, for example.
