"tu'o" by itself means the null number, which can be used to translate "a 
number of" as well as in mekso where a number is syntactically required but 
mathematically absent. I'm basing "renotu'otu'o" on a Broken Phone round that 
never finished where someone sent me a phrase like that. It was about an art 
form, and was intended to be "Since the 1900's", but had morphed into "During 
19xx years" by the time it got to me.
