This refers to secret language used in business transactions for prices, product names, etc. It is a password between traders or within a store, and was used in the past when there was no fixed price sales, when discussing selling prices without customers knowing. The ones used in markets vary depending on the type of business, but words related to the area or words that bring good luck are often used. Examples of words used to express numbers in Osaka (the letters correspond to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9, respectively) include "mumesakuramatsutake" at the Tenma vegetable market (located in the Tenjin clan's land, named after Sugawara no Michizane's beloved tree), "Ebisu no warahigah" at an indigo dye merchant, and "sari to omoshiroi" at a fish merchant.

商取引で使われる値段や商品名などの隠語をいう。業者どうしあるいは店舗内の合言葉で,かつて正札販売がなかった時代に客にわからないように売値を相談するときに使われた。市場で使われるものは業種によりさまざまであるが,その土地にゆかりのある言葉や縁起のよい言葉などが使われることが多い。大阪で使われた数を表す例では(文字は順に1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9に対応する),天満青物市場の〈むめさくらまつたけ〉(所在地が天神の氏地で,菅原道真の愛樹にちなむ),藍玉商の〈ゑびすのわらひがほ〉,魚商の〈さりとはおもしろい〉などがある。
