Abstract

This paper is based on an ongoing study on Etulo, it has identified the basic numerals and the processes involved in deriving the secondary or higher numerals from the basic ones. The paper goes to describe the processes of computation. The processes are found to be cumbersome, as opposes to rhe decimal system which has been adopted in Igbo. The paper therefore suggests the adoption of the decimal counting system.
