"Kucha gusha/Unu gusha"
1. Seed.
Note: It may be hard to believe that I would list such a word. Hilichurls do not specifically practice farming, but they have a habit of stockpiling seeds. Sometimes when they are in a good mood, they will find a place and bury their seeds. "Kucha" means "small," and carries a slightly contemptuous connotation in Hilichurlian. "Unu" is the number "one" and is a holy word that embodies the hilichurls' concept of gods and the origin of life. Both of these terms can be used to describe a seed, which is fascinating.
By the way, "Du" is two, "Unu du" is three, and "Dudu" is four. Can you guess what five is?
The correct answer is "Mani," which also means "hands" or "physical labor."
