Numbers
The Hadza did not count before the introduction of Swahili. Native numerals are itchâme 'one' and píhe 'two'. Sámaka 'three' is a Datooga loan, and bóne 'four', botáno 'five', and ikhúmi 'ten' are Sukuma. Áso 'many' is commonly used instead of botano for 'five'. There is no systematic way to express other numbers without using Swahili.
