in nimi ale pona, the numbers 20 and 120 were stated as alternative meanings for 'ale'. why or where this is from is unknown - we can only speculate.
perhaps ale was proposed as 20 before mute was chosen in the end. and 120 is the number of words in pu (not counting the synonyms - kin, oko, namako), ale might have been proposed for the number 120.
