With large numbers, values are separated in groups of three. The separator is `do`.
|
With large numbers, over four digits, the typical convention is to write them out with a space or letter between each group of three.

|
|
||||||
1,234
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If the entire group is zero, then the number itself can be skipped.
|
To simplify numbers, `do` is used to indicate three zeros.

Scales are based on the previous number, not the total magnitude. In English, one would say "1 billion, 1 thousand." In Miwāfu, one would say "1 thousand 1 thousand".
|
In addition to `do`, there are additional scale syllables used for large numbers.

In addition to using the thousands skip, there are additional amounts that can be interspersed with the number or used at the end.
|
Like `do`, these can easily be combined together to indicate more zeros.
