Well, I had to say something related to fire and houses. That was what came
to mind. The <maH> here is not "ten", which is a number forming element and
cannot appear all by itself. It is the first person plural pronoun "we".
It's normally left out of a sentence like this, but I added it for a bit of
emphasis on the "we".
