Tchala numbers for a dog
The traditional tchala links a dog to 15, 75 and 95. In Haitian borlette, these two-digit numbers can be played alone (bolet) or paired as a maryaj (marriage): 15脳75, 15脳95, 75脳95. The tchala is a cultural tradition: the numbers differ from one family or tchala book to another, and no dream can predict a draw.
