ctona'a: ko'a nanca lo xecto be ko'e
na'acto: ko'a xecto lo nanca be ko'e

From a mathematical point of view they are equivalent, x times 100
years is the same as 100 times x years, but from a semantic point of
view I prefer the former, since we tend to think in terms of how many
centuries rather than in terms of one hundred times how many years.
