tula atala = man 5.
120.

tula nergua = man 6.
1000.

tula wala guena = great 1 man.
The last expression may, perhaps, be translated "great hundred," though the literal meaning is the one given.

If 10, instead of 20, is expressed by the word "man," the multiples of 10 follow the law just given for multiples of 20.

This is sufficiently indicated by the Kusaie scale; or equally well by the Api words for 100 and 200, which are[119] _duulimo toromomo_ = 10 times the whole man.
_duulimo toromomo va juo_ = 10 times the whole man taken 2 times.
As an illustration of the legitimate result which is produced by the attempt to express high numbers in this manner the term applied by educated native Greenlanders[120] for a thousand may be cited.
