Tchala numbers for death
The traditional tchala links death to 08, 33, 74 and 80. In Haitian borlette, these two-digit numbers can be played alone (bolet) or paired as a maryaj (marriage): 08×33, 08×74, 08×80, 33×74, 33×80, 74×80. The tchala is a cultural tradition: the numbers differ from one family or tchala book to another, and no dream can predict a draw.
