It is also handy for a night out: when bar or restaurant-hopping, the second place you go to is the 二軒目 (literally “the second building”).
~軒 has two kinds of sound change. A small っ appears after 1, 6, 8, 10 and 100 (一軒, 六軒, 八軒), and the け softens to げ after numbers ending in ん - 3, 1000 and 何軒. All the changed readings are highlighted.
