Stupid question about the name 一二三。 I've begun learning Kanji somewhat recently, and I'm curious why the name 一二三 is pronounced ひふみ. My Genki book is showing that the On-Yomi is nowhere close to the name, but the Kun-Yomi is ひと、ふた、and みっ. Is there something I'm not getting with the Kanji? Or is Genki I just not showing it? And should I be looking for this sort of thing apart from Genki?
