                 Tjal Rules

* Questions are always begun with the word Ik, which has no meaning in and of itself but merely states that the sentence is a question and not a statement.
     EX: Ik te’ach’ned equals You rested easy?

* When counting, use the smallest number first and add it to the larger number with and. For example: twenty-eight would be eight and twenty (Thama’nok’rik). This only applies to numbers under one hundred. After you reach one hundred and above you start with the largest number going down until you reach any number under one hundred and then you say the smallest number first again.
     EX: 1,365 would be One thousand three hundred five and sixty. When going to one hundred and two hundred etc. add an a to the end of the word for one, two, etc.
     EX: one is wakid and one hundred is wakida. To move to a thousand add an. Wakidan is one thousand, ithinan is two thousand. Arbakan’sitaka’arbak’nok’talat is 4,634 or as it is pronounced, four thousand six hundred four and thirty. For large numbers like 400,000 simply use the word for 400 (Arbaka) and then use an apostrophe and add the thousand—Arbaka’an. One million is one thousand thousand—Wakidan’an.
