๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿค” Your point surprises me, because it makes a lot of sense and it hadn't even occurred to me. I am not convinced, but I understand your POV much better now.

See here's the thing. As far as the actual numbers go, even numbers are usually bouba and odd numbers are usually kiki. But the concept of an odd number is bouba and the concept of an even number is kiki, because the words for each are too!

Yeah, that's crazy. There's no reason for it. Also, in my gut, I know that kiki is odd and bouba is even. Don't you?

Arrange the units in pairs. Odd has an extra one sticking off the end, a spike, like kiki. Even is round, like bouba
