Description:

The Arara is an isolated tribe found in the Amazon who count in pairs. For example one to eight is as follows:

  • 1 = anane
  • 2 = adak
  • 3 = adak anane
  • 4 = adak adak
  • 5 = adak adak anane
  • 6 = adak adak adak
  • 7 = adak adak adak anane
  • 8 = adak adak adak adak

Take a given number and return the Arara's equivalent.

e.g.

3 --> "adak anane"

8 --> "adak adak adak adak"
