Mnemonic

Roppyaku (六百) is "six hundred / 600" — B + no-cluster numeral, gemination pronunciation (6 + h → 6 + p). 六 (roku) + 百 (hyaku) → roppyaku (6 + gemination + pyaku). Same pattern: happyaku (800, 8 + gemination), issen (1000, 1 + gemination). Japans numeral mutation systematic. Korean yukbaek / 600 simple, Chinese liubai simple; Japans 6-position gemination plus p-mutation unique.
