Usage notes
- The numerator is pertained by adding a numeral (as the numerator) then putting down the linker "ka" before the denominator.

- A mixed number is applied by adding a numeral (as the whole number) then followed by "ug" (meaning "and") before the non-mixed fraction.
- lima ug + duha ka sikatulo (“two-thirds”) → lima ug duha ka sikatulo (“five and two-thirds”)
