Some anomalies:
  • Use "shi" for "four" only in the single digit column. So, you can use "shi" or "yon" in 3654, but use "yon" for 40, 400, 4000, etc.
  • Use "shichi" for "seven" only in the single digit column. So, you can use "shichi" or "nana" in 9607, but use "nana" for 70, 700, 7000, etc.
  • 600 = "roppyaku" (not "rokyu hyaku")
  • 800 = "happyaku" (not "hachi hyaku")
  • 8000 = "hassen" (not "hachi sen")
