BE – FIRST INCREASE
Bana enya e ka nyi *BE* enyaba Nupe o na yi; guwo be nini i – the first increase in Nupe counting is 11.
Santatunzhi – Examples
Gywo *BE* nini i – 11,
Guwo *BE* guba e – 12,
Gwegi *BE* nini i – 16,
Gwegi *BE* guba e – 17.
TU – SECOND INCREASE
Bana enya e ka nyi *TU* enyaba Nupe o na yi; shitsun be nini i *TU* nini – the second increase in Nupe counting is 111.
Santatunzhi – Examples
Shitsun be guwo e *TU* nini – 111,
Shitsun be guwo e *TU* guba – 112,
KPEDO – BASE
Kpedo Nupe yi bana enya e ka nyi be mini enyaba o na koman bana bere wo a ka ebanzhe na – Nupe Base is the first increase in counting or the first place your voice changed.
