Pronunciation and morphology notes
A hundred thousand in Japanese is “ten ten-thousands”: jū-man (10 x 10,000 = 100,000). The 4-digit grouping makes Japanese count 1234,5678 (one hundred twenty-three thousand four hundred and fifty-six ten-thousands, plus five thousand six hundred and seventy-eight) where English counts 12,345,678 (twelve million...). For English speakers, sliding the comma from 3-digit to 4-digit groupings is the mental adjustment.
