Riddle that you won't figure out - tanTALK

From Don Lemon, Everybody's Illustrated Book of Puzzles, 1890:

Twice six are eight of us,
Six are but three of us,
Nine are but four of us,
What can we possibly be?
Would you know more of us?
I'll tell you more of us.
Twelve are but six of us,
Five are but four of us, now do you see?

I'll give the solution later.

The first line threw me off but with the other ones its really easy.

I blew it cause I wrote it down but didn't spell out the numbers. Destroyed ANY chance of figuring it out.

(my mammy told me the answer)
