Once, six children were in a round table. Master Brăwiid asked them: "How many of you are here?"
While the others were still counting, one child replied: "Sixty-three: 6 individuals, 15 teams of 2, 20 teams of 3, 15 teams of 4, 6 teams of 5, and 1 team of 6."
Now Master Brăwiid asked: "Well then, how many people will be there if another person enters?"
The child said: "It is plain, Master: here we have all of the old teams, as well as another set of teams with the new person!"
Master Brăwiid praised the child, saying, "This child has wisdom indeed."

one story could involve a precocious child
she's asked the question, in a round table of six people "how many of us are there"
before the others could finish counting, she responds with this:
"63: 6 individuals, 15 teams of two, 20 teams of 3, etc."
that could be a story in the ngăthoar
and then a wise old man counters, well, how many more people will be there if another one enters
and the kid responds, we have all our old teams, as well as a new set of teams with the new person added

one snialist (possibly jopah) could point out that the kid's figure of 63 came from an idealist mindset where there was no conflict

The Imθumăytil (CWdm: /imtʰuməjˈtil/, lit. 'Delvings' or 'Inquiries', Modern Imthumitil) is a collection of stories, anecdotes, parables, songs, lectures and sermons, in Classical Naeng. Some passages are in Classical Tseer.

  • Scientific concepts?

Once, six children were in a round table. Master Brăwiid asked them: "How many of you are here?"

While the others were still counting, one child replied: "Sixty-three: 6 individuals, 15 teams of 2, 20 teams of 3, 15 teams of 4, 6 teams of 5, and 1 team of 6."

Notes

The notion of choosing subsets from six items may have been a metaphor for cooking. The Naeng recognized 6 basic tastes (sweet, sour, salty, bitter, spicy, umami), and each combination is essentially a taste on its own. The mystic Etsoj Jopah interpreted the parable as a recipe for building a just intonation scale from prime factors, thus introducing Combination Product Sets into Talman music.
