Tchala numbers for a knife
The traditional tchala links a knife to 58, 54, 37 and 09. In Haitian borlette, these two-digit numbers can be played alone (bolet) or paired as a maryaj (marriage): 58×54, 58×37, 58×09, 54×37, 54×09, 37×09. The tchala is a cultural tradition: the numbers differ from one family or tchala book to another, and no dream can predict a draw.
