This is the same as the numeral one without the prefix
^V namely ^^' chi.
2. The final ^V is very slightly pronounced (see above

3. It is placed after the noun or adjective, which it quali-

4. It also takes any case-inflection instead of its noun or
adjective, which latter in such case are not inflected. The
method of case-inflection will be dealt with later under the
chapter relating to nouns.

in English. If there might otherwise he doubt as to whether
more than one is meant use ^cn'

where something full is implied, ^\n' Hang is used instead of
S^l' e.g. Sif^'CJ'^C" phor-pa fcang, a bowl-full.
