Expressing grouping with ''to'' "multiplied by": ''xoqavu'' means 12 in no particular arrangement, ''bintoces'' means 3x4 arrangement, ''vutoos'' means 2x6 arrangement. The smaller number goes first. However, to say 1x12 or 12 objects filed in one row, it would not be *''xatoxoqavu'', but rather with a collective suffix. A row of 12 apples (''oqul'') would be ''xoqavu oqulil''.
