Declensions

Cardinal numbers decline only for the basic cases. Numbers 1 (ýśa) and 2 (vrâ) have special suffixes, numbers 3 and above can be declined using suffixes or not. The basic cases replace sub-cases and additional cases according to the case hierarchy, or, alternatively, they take the usual nominal suffixes, in which case they have to agree in gender.
