Usage notes
Since this number does not have a m-based form, similar to other multiples of ten afterwards, if it's describing a total number of items, it comes before the noun.
- Irínwó dọ́là ni. – It's four hundred dollars
However, if it is describing an ordinal sequence, it comes after the noun.
- Ọmọ irínwó l'ó jẹ́. – She's the four hundredth child.
