Twenty

 How do you say twenty in Teochew?  My family says rih8 and I heard Teochew mountain brother said riab8. 

Apparently, riab8 comes from ri6 as in second and zab8 as in ten as shown below.  I have shared some of my notes on twenty with you.  If you want to hear how to say 廿 rih8 and riab8 click on the link here
