Cumbrian numbers

<dl><dd> Main article: Yan Tan Tethera
</dd></dl> The Cumbrian numbers, often called 'sheep counting numerals' because of their (declining) use by shepherds to this very day, show clear signs that they may well have their origins in Cumbric. The table below shows the variation of the numbers throughout Cumbria, as well as the relevant cognate in Welsh and Cornish, which are the two geographically closest British languages to Cumbric, for comparison.

Game Over - at least an hour and a half early. How very dare they!

There's another comp in its place at least.
