      Usage notes
      edit
      • Used to form numerals from eleven to nineteen. See also labing-.
        labing-apat ― fourteen (literally, “excess four”)
      • In older Tagalog, numerals were formed according to slightly different rules.
        • labi can be used to form any numeral between a power of ten and twice its value. As in modern Tagalog, if no power of ten was specified, the number was understood to exceed ten. Numerals greater than twice a power of ten instead used mayka-.
          labi sa raan labing isa ― one hundred and eleven (literally, “excess from a hundred, excess one (from ten)”)
          labi sa libong dalawang puwo ― one thousand and twenty (literally, “two tens excess from a thousand”)
        • When the following numeral referred to the immediately lower power of ten, that unit could be omitted if understood from context, though it could also be stated explicitly to avoid confusion.
          labi sa libong isa ― one thousand and one (hundred) (literally, “one (hundred) that is excess from a thousand”)
          labi sa libong sangdaan ― one thousand and one hundred (literally, “one hundred that is excess from a thousand”)
        • For indeterminate ranges where the exact number was unknown, no numeral would follow the unit. For values above ten but below twenty, puwo (older form of pu) should not be omitted.
          labi sa puwo ― exclusively between ten and twenty (literally, “more than ten”)
          labi sa raan ― exclusively between one hundred and two hundred (literally, “more than a hundred”)
        • Suffixes could be attached either to the first or the last word of the numeral phrase. In modern usage, attaching them to the first word is considered archaic.
          Labihin mong isa. / Labing isahin mo.
          Make it eleven.
          Labihin mo sa daan isa. / Labi sa daan isahin mo.
          Make it one hundred and one.
        • This older construction was later replaced under Spanish influence, except in the numerals eleven through nineteen.
          Labi sa libo labi sa raan labing pito ― one thousand, one hundred, seventeen (literally, “more than a thousand, more than a hundred, excess seven”)
          Isang libo isang daan at labing pito ― one thousand, one hundred, seventeen (literally, “one thousand, one hundred, and excess seven”)
