Trivia

[edit]

This is the only native unit number name in Indonesian that got displaced by a loanword, while its native equivalents still remain in some regional languages of Indonesia such as Javanese telu or Sundanese tilu (“three”). Another unit number name that is a loanword is nol, which didn't have any native name.
