Numbers

Learning to count in Cree is similar to learning to count in other languages. The primary difference is that a number like neestunuw-payukosap (21) appears to transliterate to 2011.  When counting sequentially  in Cree between 20 and 99 one has to remember to use the numbers between 11 and 19 to represent 1 and 9 respectively.
