bonus points here I come
quote:
There is a "culture" that can only count to four. Integers beyond four are known by the phrase "hrair", which generally means many, or thousand. Hence their God is known as El-Ahrairah, or Prince with a thousand enemies.
​
Bonus points to the first who can tell me where this culture exists.

Hey, watch it there. I can categorically state that most inhabitants of my newfound home can count to at least eight, if they haven't lost any fingers to farm equipment.
