	In Yemen they use Habbat in construct and Habbaat with the three
through 10 preceding the the Habbaat which of course precedes the
non-count noun for almost all market place items.

	However, for money it is always the amount,and compound numerals
involving alf and milyoon, wth the alf and milyoon in the singualr form
and the name for the money in its singular form.
i.e.
xams alf ryal
