commentary

"ali" is an alternative to "ale", coined in a poll in 2002 in order to avoid confusion with "ala". However, the usage of "ale" over "ali" remains more common. The majority of speakers report not understanding the "abundant, bountiful, plentiful" meaning, at least out of context. "20, 120" were non-pu meanings previously in use in the community alongside 100; they are virtually unheard of nowadays.
