Each of these pictures represents a number in a foreign language. Which is the odd number out?

Grief is a debilitating affliction. It causes the most rational mind to ignore science and truth, instead succumbing to the temptations of hope and speculation. It enslaves the mind to the heart.

Alas, our world dies not always offer the succour called for by the grief-stricken and the care-worn. Indeed, there are persons who prey upon the weakness of the bereaved, exacerbate their condition and exploit them for monetary gain.

I have met such individuals. Charlatans, fraudsters, confidence tricksters. The authorities may tolerate their immoral practices, but I do not. They are thieves but, unlike the Apple Thief, whose name I hear so often as a witness to their honesty, they are not bringers of justice. The honest need not fear me. Others, beware.

You don't need that many languages, just think common school languages.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Not Huti try anagramming it


Big clue:

The pictures are Fun, Hut, Nun, Wolf, Zen

 		Just got it. I'd got stuck thanks to the wrong interpretation of the first picture:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
HAFT (HAT + F) is 7 in Farsi (and others).

 		Very common school languages. One of which I never studied. Sigh. With sophiecat's hints and a little googling you should quickly see what's odd about one of them.
