More On Numbers i.e. 11 to 20

Numbers from 11 to 14 shall be done first. The secret is to
just add l

That is:

2 _ mj

12 mjl

11th

12th kejl

13th

14th

Numbers 15 to 20 requires a little subtraction to understand.

For instance:
5 less from 20 = 15
while
4 less from 20 = 16

ETC

less from meansdn

l 20 is ogn.

15 = mrndnlgn e

mr n n less from (din) 20 (ogun)

d l

i.e. (4 less from 20)

d l

i.e. (3 less from 20)

18 = mjdnlgn
d l

i.e. (2 less from 20)

i.e. (1 less from 20)

20 = ogn

We shall stop counting for now.
