==Numerals==
===Interrogative pronouns===
The numeral system relies on a decimal base.
Basic interrogative pronouns display two different roots:


===Cardinal numerals===
*<small>''quality'':</small> '''ṫjejm-'''
The first ten cardinal numbers are noun-like forms on their own:
*<small>''quantity'':</small> '''sjowp-'''


{|-
When taking a noun role, the root is usually expanded by the nominal suffix '''-e-'''.
|-
| style="width: 40px;"| <center><small>''digit''</small></center> || <center><small>''full form''</small></center>
|-
| <center>''1'':</center> || ʂajqo
|-
| <center>''2'':</center>  || qaki
|-
| <center>''3'':</center>  || mikow
|-

| <center>''8'':</center>  || cuqe
|-
| <center>''9'':</center>  || ʈobu
|-
| <center>''10'':</center>  || βjeqo
|}
 
Numerals from 11 to 19 are built with the construction NUM + βjeqo + na:
{|-
|-
| style="width: 40px;"| <center><small>''digit''</small></center> || <center><small>''full form''</small></center>
|-
| <center>''11'':</center> || ʂajqoβjeqona
|-
| <center>''12'':</center> || qakiβjeqona
|-
| <center>''13'':</center> || mikowβjeqona
|-
| <center>''14'':</center> || wowheβjeqona
|-
| <center>''15'':</center> || çajweβjeqona
|-
| <center>''16'':</center> || ðujhaβjeqona
|-
| <center>''17'':</center> || ŕaʂäβjeqona
|-
| <center>''18'':</center> || cuqeβjeqona
|-
| <center>''19'':</center> || ʈobuβjeqona
|}


The numerals for ''(one) hundred'' and ''(one) thousand'' are noun-like forms on their own:
'''ṫjejm-''' '''ṫjejm-''' + '''-e-''' '''ṫjejme'''
{|-
<small>''interr.'' ''what?, who?''</small>  
|-
| style="width: 40px;"| <center><small>''digit''</small></center> || <center><small>''full form''</small></center>
|-
| <center>''100'':</center>  || ɳajśu
|-
| <center>''1000'':</center>  || hiqaj
|}
 
The numerals for the multiples of tens, hundreds and thousands are built with the construction NUM + re + βjeqośu / ɳajśuśu / hiqajśu:
{|-
|-
| style="width: 40px;"| <center><small></small></center> || style="width: 100px;"| <center><small>''tens''</small></center> || style="width: 100px;"| <center><small>''hundreds''</small></center> || style="width: 100px;"| <center><small>''thousands''</small></center>
|-
| <center><small>''2x'':</small></center> || ʔakirephḗʔo || ʔakireñā́tu || ʔakirewiʔā́
|-
| <center><small>''3x'':</small></center> || mikṓrephḗʔo || mikṓreñā́tu || mikṓrewiʔā́
|-
| <center><small>''4x'':</small></center> || gṓwerephḗʔo || gṓwereñā́tu || gṓwerewiʔā́
|-
| <center><small>''5x'':</small></center> || pā́gerephḗʔo || pā́gereñā́tu || pā́gerewiʔā́
|-
| <center><small>''6x'':</small></center> || thū́warephḗʔo || thū́wareñā́tu || thū́warewiʔā́
|-
| <center><small>''7x'':</small></center> || hašɑrephḗʔo || hašɑreñā́tu || hašɑrewiʔā́
|-
| <center><small>''8x'':</small></center> || kuʔerephḗʔo || kuʔereñā́tu || kuʔerewiʔā́
|-
| <center><small>''9x'':</small></center> || tsṓjurephḗʔo || tsṓjureñā́tu || tsṓjurewiʔā́
|}


Numbers above the multiples of thousands have no name and are specified by the lesser numerals.
When taking an adjective role, the root is usually expanded by the adjectival suffix '''-i-'''.


Composite numbers are built by just putting them beside, without any conjunction, in descending order:
'''ṫjejm-''' → '''ṫjejm-''' + '''-i-''' → '''ṫjejmi'''
*''1985'': wiʔā́ tsṓjureñā́tu kuʔerephḗʔo pā́ge
<small>''interr.'' → ''which?''</small> 


All cardinal numerals are meant as invariable forms.
As pronouns, these forms display a complete declension, in which the case forms according to the animacy of the referred noun.


===Ordinal numerals===
Ordinal numerals are formed by adding the adjectival ending -ko to the cardinal numeral form:
{|-
{|-
|-
|-

|}
|}


If the numeral form is composite, the ending is added only to the last numeral form:
The quality root can refer freely to either animate or inanimate entities. A distinction of animacy can be inferred by the context or by choice of case forms. However, some declined forms can acquire new interrogative meanings depending on the selected case:
*''25<sup>th</sup>'': ʔakirephḗʔo pā́geko


===Fractional numerals===
* '''ṫjejmewa''': where (<small>static location</small>)
Fractional numerals are formed by adding the derivative ending -gū́ to the cardinal numeral form, with the exceptions of the numeral ''one'', and an irregular suppletive form:
* '''ṫjejmeʈu''': where (<small>motion toward</small>)
{|-
* '''ṫjejmeno ''': why (<small>cause</small>)
|-
| style="width: 40px;"| <center><small>''digit''</small></center> || <center><small>''full form''</small></center>
|-
| <center>''1'':</center> || -
|-
| <center>''2'':</center> || kū́pho
|-
| <center>''3'':</center> || mikṓgū́
|-

|}
 
If the numeral form is composite, the ending is added only to the last numeral form:
*''25'': ʔakirephḗʔo pā́gegū́


===Distributive numerals===
These forms, while broadly undefined in their meaning, are usually specified by using the interrogative adjective with other generic or specific nouns:  
Distributive numerals are formed by adding the derivative ending -jḗ to the cardinal numeral form:
{|-
|-
| style="width: 40px;"| <center><small>''digit''</small></center> || <center><small>''full form''</small></center>
|-
| <center>''1'':</center> || šā́ʔojḗ

|-
| <center>''300'':</center>  || mikṓreñā́tujḗ
|-
| <center>''9000'':</center>  || tsṓjurewiʔā́jḗ
|}
 
If the numeral form is composite, the ending is added only to the last numeral form:
*''25'': ʔakirephḗʔo pā́gejḗ
 
===Multiplier numerals===
Multiplier numerals are formed by adding the derivative ending -renɑ to the cardinal numeral form:
{|-
|-
| style="width: 40px;"| <center><small>''digit''</small></center> || <center><small>''full form''</small></center>
|-
| <center>''1'':</center> || šā́ʔorenɑ

If the numeral form is composite, the ending is added only to the last numeral form:

Interrogative pronouns

Basic interrogative pronouns display two different roots:

  • quality: ṫjejm-
  • quantity: sjowp-

When taking a noun role, the root is usually expanded by the nominal suffix -e-.

ṫjejm-ṫjejm- + -e-ṫjejme
interr.what?, who? 

When taking an adjective role, the root is usually expanded by the adjectival suffix -i-.

ṫjejm-ṫjejm- + -i-ṫjejmi
interr.which?  

As pronouns, these forms display a complete declension, in which the case forms according to the animacy of the referred noun.

who? / what?
how much? / how many?
singular
plural
singular
plural
ergative
ṫjejmek̇ə ṫjejmejk̇ə sjowpek̇ə sjowpejk̇ə
absolutive
ṫjejme ṫjejmej sjowpe sjowpej
possessive
ṫjejmeṗu ṫjejmejṗu sjowpeṗu sjowpejṗu
terminative
ṫjejmeʈu ṫjejmejʈu sjowpeʈu sjowpejʈu
ablative
ṫjejmeʡo ṫjejmejʡo sjowpeʡo sjowpejʡo
causative
ṫjejmeno ṫjejmejno sjowpeno sjowpejno
benefactive
ṫjejmepə ṫjejmejpə sjowpepə sjowpejpə
instrumental
ṫjejmema ṫjejmejma sjowpema sjowpejma
locative
ṫjejmewa ṫjejmejwa sjowpewa sjowpejwa

The quality root can refer freely to either animate or inanimate entities. A distinction of animacy can be inferred by the context or by choice of case forms. However, some declined forms can acquire new interrogative meanings depending on the selected case:

  • ṫjejmewa: where (static location)
  • ṫjejmeʈu: where (motion toward)
  • ṫjejmeno : why (cause)

These forms, while broadly undefined in their meaning, are usually specified by using the interrogative adjective with other generic or specific nouns:

  • ṫjejmewa weʡewa: in which place (static location)
  • ṫjejmeʈu weʡeʈu: in which place (motion toward)
