N.B.--No title beyond his rank is given to a General in England, like "Monsieur le General" in France. We usually say "General," or "Sir," but moŝto might be used in Esperanto.
(_d_). As regards addresses of letters, we can say:--
_Al Lia Duka Moŝto de ..._ or, _Al Lia Duka Moŝto, la Duko de ..._ = To His Grace the Duke of ...
_Al Ŝia Grafina Moŝto de ..._ = To the Countess of ...
_Al Lia Rega Moŝto de ..._ = To His Excellency the Governor of ...; or if we mention him by name:--
_Al Lia Moŝto, Sir Henry Smith La Reganto de ..._ = To His Excellency, Sir Henry Smith, The Governor of ...
284. Suffixes -OBL-, -ON-, -OP-. (Ex. 18.) These three suffixes are used with numerals, making them multiples, fractions, or collectives (see pars. 119, 120, 121).
(_a_). -_OBL_- added to a cardinal number denotes the number is a multiple. It is equivalent to the English suffixes "-fold" or "-uple."
Examples.--_Multoblo_ = a multiple, _multobla_ = manifold. _Unu_ = one, _unuobla_ = single, _unuoble_ = singly. _Du_ = two, _duobla_ = double, _la duoblo_ = the double. _Kvar_ = four, _kvarobla_ = fourfold, quadruple, _la kvaroblo_ = the quadruple. _Cent_ = hundred, _centoblo_ = a centuple. It is used in the multiplication table:--
_kvaroble tri estas_ (or, _faras_) _dek du_ 4 times 3 = 12 _kvinoble kvar estas dudek_ 5 times 4 = 20 _sesoble kvin estas tridek_ 6 times 5 = 30 _sepoble ses estas kvardek du_ 7 times 6 = 42 _okoble sep estas kvindek ses_ 8 times 7 = 56 _naŭoble ok estas sepdek du_ 9 times 8 = 72 _dekoble naŭ estas naŭdek_ 10 times 9 = 90 _dek-unuoble dek estas cent dek_ 11 times 10 = 110 _dek-duoble dek unu estas cent tridek du_ 12 times 11 = 132
(_b_). -_ON_- added to a cardinal number denotes a fraction. As a root, ona = _fractional_.
Examples.--_Du_ = two, _duona_ = half, _duone_ = by halves, _duono_ = a half (1/2). _Tri_ = three, _triona_ = third, _triono_ = a third (1/3). _Kvar_ = four, _kvarona_ = quarter, _kvarono_ = a fourth (1/4). _Dek_ = ten, _dekona_ = tenth, _dekono_ = a tenth (1/10), _tri dekonoj_ = 3/10ths. _Dek du_ = twelve, _dek-duona_ = twelfth, _dek-duono_ = a twelfth (1/12), _kvin dek-duonoj_ = 5/12ths. _Sesdek kvin centonoj_ = sixty-five hundredths (65/100). _La kvinona parto (la kvinono) de cent estas la triona parto (la triono) de sesdek, tio estas dudek_ = The 5th part of 100 is the 3rd part of 60, that is 20.
