Consider if you really need a precise number to begin with.

Most of the time, the pona way is to avoid precise numbers and to use:

• 0 = ala = ala
• 1 = wan = wan
• 2 = tu = tu
• 3 or more = mute = mute

Consider if you could instead express what the quantity means in context:

• There are 37 ants on my leg: pipi pi mute ike li lon noka mi
• I have 7 cats at home: soweli pi mute pona li lon tomo mi
• I only have 7 dollars left: mi jo e mani lili taso
