caya ente-tey = 2 hands 1. 15.
toazumba-ente = 3 hands. 16.
toazumba-ente-tey = 3 hands 1. 20.
caesea ente = 4 hands. A far more common method of progression is furnished by languages which interrupt the quinary formation at 10, and express that number by a single word.
Any scale in which this takes place can, from this point onward, be quinary only in the subordinate sense to which allusion has just been made. Examples of this are furnished in a more or less perfect manner by nearly all so-called quinary-vigesimal and quinary-decimal scales.
