The second way of counting is with the _coie_ vocables which are borrowed from Chinese. These numbers are not used by themselves to count to ten; but are rather used when counting things which are represented by Chinese, and not Japanese vocables. These bound numerals (_termini numerales_) are: _ichi_ 'one,' _ni_ 'two,' _san_ 'three,' _xi_ 'four,' _go_ 'five,' _rocu_ 'six,' _xichi_ 'seven,' _fachi_ 'eight,' _cu_ 'nine,' _jú_ 'ten.' The numbers eleven and above are made by joining these numbers together. Thus, 'eleven' is _jǔichi_; _júni_ is 'twelve,' _júsan_ 'thirteen,' _júcu_ 'ninteen.' The tens are obtained by placing one of the numbers in front of ten; e.g., _nijú_ 'twenty,' _sanjú_ 'thirty,' _sanjǔichi_ 'thirty-one,' _cujǔ_ 'ninety.' _Fiacu_ means 'hundred,' _fiacu ichi_ 'one hundred and one,' _fiacu jǔ_ 'one hundred and ten,' _fiacu sanjǔ_ 'one hundred and thirty,' _ni fiacu_ 'two hundred,' _sambiacu_ 'three hundred.' _Xen_ means 'thousand,' and _xen roppiacu sanjǔ ichi_ is 'sixteen thirty-one.' By placing the Japanese numerals in front of Japanese vocables, which are called _iomi_, and by removing the _tçu_ of the aforementioned numbers before they are joined to nouns or verb stems, one is able to enumerate those things which are indicated by the vocable; e.g., _fito cotoba_ 'one word,' _futa cotovari_ 'two reasons,' _mi ami_ 'three nets, or three casts of the net,' _iocama_ 'to bake something four times in an oven,' _itçu caqe_ 'five attacks,' _mu casane_ 'six robes, or covers,' _nana catana_ 'seven wounds by a sword,' _ia catague_ 'eight loads,' _cu cavari_[191] 'nine changes,' _to cusa_ 'ten varieties.' Above the number ten this way of counting is not used, instead they say _iro júichi_ or _júichi no iro_ for 'eleven colors.' The interrogative is _icutçu_. If the thing being questioned is placed after the interrogative the particle _no_ is added; e.g., _itçucu no qi zo_ [_icutçu_ ...] 'how many trees are there?' To such a question the answer is _futatçu_ 'two,' _mitçu_ 'three,' etc. If the _tçu_ is removed from _icutçu_, one may place it in front of the thing being asked about; e.g., _icu tocoro_ 'how many places?' _icu toqi_ 'how many hours?'; also _fito fanaxi_ 'one sermon, or conversation,' _futa sugi_ 'two treads,' _io te_ 'four hands, as in a fight,' _itçu tçubu_ 'five grains,' _mu tocoro_ 'six (68 places,' _ia mavari_ 'six [eight] circuits,' _cu ninai_ 'nine loads, carried in {176} the Japanese fashion on a stick with the load in front,' _to vatari_ 'ten crossings.' It is possible to count the same thing in different ways. Thus, _mu tocoro_ is also _mutçu no tocoro_ and _tocoro mutçu_ 'six places.' _Fito ie_ means 'one plain thing,' _futa ie_ 'doubled, or duplicate,' _mi ie_ 'triplicate,' etc. In the same way one may add Chinese numerals to Chinese vocables, or _coie_. Usually in this way of counting a [phonetic] change occurs in either the number or the thing counted.
