Mohegan-Pequot numbering rules
- Digits from one to nine are specific words, namely nuqut [1], nis [2], shwi [3], yáw [4], nupáw [5], qutôsk [6], nisôsk [7], shwôsk [8] and pásukokun [9].
- The tens are based on the root of the digit names suffixed by uncák (meaning how many ten) from twenty to forty, and by the multiplier digit followed by -cahshuncák (also meaning how many ten, based on cáhshi or how many): páyaq [10], nisuncák [20], swuncák [30], yáwuncák [40], nupáw-cahshuncák [50], qutôsk-cahshuncák [60], nisôsk-cahshuncák [70], shwôsk-cahshuncák [80] and pásukokun-cahshuncák [90].
- Compound numbers are made by linking the ten and the digit with the word napni (e.g.: páyaq napni nuqut [11], nupáw-cahshuncák napni shwi [53]).
- One hundred is pásuq, and one thousand, mutunôk.
