yan iyisen yan arriaisen owọrọ yan iyisen yan Ẹbo owọrọ yan
iyisen
[11 +
100 + 111,000 + 111,000,000]
One

hundren and eleven
“Yan”
or “yaen” or “yanren” means add / addition.
Two
digits or numbers together without “yan” or “yaen” refers to
multiplication of said numbers. e.g. as in “Arriaisen owọrọ”
and “Ẹbo owọrọ
Accents
are necesary in 11(owọrọ) and 1000000 (Ẹbo) above to identify
and apropriate vowel sounds.
(Iyi =
20 ; Isen = 5)
Iyisen =
100 (20 x 5)
Owọrọ
yan iyisen = 111
Uri /
Arria / Iyisen eva = 200
Arriaisen
= 1000 (200 x 5)
Arriaisen
owọrọ = 11000
Arriaisen
owọrọ yan iyisen = 111,000
Ẹbo
owọrọ yan iyisen = 111,000,000

I am very grateful to find Edo language here.
I will want to advise that writings in Edo should be comprehensive and sequential like numbers clearly written out 1 2 3 sequentially to very large numbers.
It can however be broken down in hundreds or thousands for easy space accommodation.
Kudos to the initiator of this Edo write up.
God bless you.
