Built as 30 − 4

How 26 is built in Yorùbá

ẹ̀rìndínlọ́gbọ̀n is ẹ̀rin (4) taken away from ọgbọ̀n (30): 30 − 4 = 26. The "dín" in the word means "less".
ọgbọ̀n (30) is its own word, not built from smaller parts.
Yorùbá counts down from the next ten for any number ending in 5 to 9, so 26 is reached from 30, not from 20.

Modern base-10 form

ogún ó lé mẹ́fà

In school maths, prices and phone numbers, the modern system only adds: "ó lé" means "and more", so the parts are simply summed.
