===Extension to the counting system===

{{tp|nasin nanpa pona}} allows for one extra step to simplify numbers beyond a couple of hundreds: if numbers smaller than 100 precede {{tp|[[ale]]}}, then {{tp|ale}} gets multiplied by this number. As a result, {{tp|nasin nanpa pona}} is {{w|centesimal}} (base 100). The ~~words~~ {{tp|wan}} also precedes {{tp|ale}} to avoid confusion with the {{tp|pu}} system.<ref name="kapilu-tepo" />
