Numerals
The numeral system relies on a mixed system of decimal base and a vigesimal base.
The first ten cardinal numbers are noun-like forms on their own:
| īɴ | |
| gaɸ | |
| zgū | |
| dāk | |
| atsʼ | |
| trikxʼ | |
| rməq | |
| dākr | |
| īɴɸə | |
| ɸək |
Numerals from 11 to 19 are built with the construction NUM + i + ɸək. If the numeral ends in a vowel, the -i turns into -j:
| īɴiɸək | |
| gaɸiɸək | |
| zgūjɸək | |
| dākiɸək | |
| atsʼiɸək | |
| trikxʼiɸək | |
| rməqiɸək | |
| dākriɸək | |
| īɴɸəjɸək |
The numeral for tens is built with the construction NUM + ī:
| ɸəkī |
The numerals for 20 is a noun-like form on their own:
| gāɸī |
Numerals for 30, 50, 70 and 90 are built with the construction NUM + ɸəkī:
| zgūɸəkī | |
| atsʼɸəkī | |
| rməqɸəkī | |
| īɴɸəɸəkī |
Numerals for 40, 60 and 80 are built with the construction 2 / 3 / 4 + gāɸī:
| gaɸgāɸī | |
| zgūgāɸī | |
| dākgāɸī |
The numerals for (one) hundred and (one) thousand are noun-like forms on their own:
| žaβ | |
| kx‘ruç |
The numerals for the multiples of hundreds and thousands are built with the construction NUM + (i) + žaβī / kx‘ruçī:
| gaɸžaβī | gaɸkx‘ruçī | |
| zgūžaβī | zgūkx‘ruçī | |
| dākžaβī | dākikx‘ruçī | |
| atsʼižaβī | atsʼkx‘ruçī | |
| trikxiʼžaβī | trikxʼikx‘ruçī | |
| rməqižaβī | rməqikx‘ruçī | |
| dākrižaβī | dākrikx‘ruçī | |
| īɴɸəžaβī | īɴɸəkx‘ruçī |
Composite numbers are built by just putting them beside, without any conjunction, in descending order:
- 1985: kx‘ruç īɴɸəžaβī dākgāɸī atsʼ
All cardinal numerals up to these forms are treated as adjective-like forms. They decline according to their adjoining nouns in case, but they do not agree in number. Numerals do decline only in singular number. However, numeral are placed almost always before their adjoining nouns. In later texts they can be found also after their nouns.
The numeral for “million” is formed from the word ëțnẙt. Numbers above the millions have no name and are specified by the lesser numerals.
| țë̥nt |
This form is treated as a regularly declinable noun, with an external plural:
| emqi̥ țë̥ntëj | |
| ʔḁtru fḁ̈nu țë̥ntëj |
Nouns adjoining such numerals are not preceded by any preposition and are declined in the case required by their syntactical role in the sentence, as the numerals themselves:
iʔẙqoʔ țë̥ntëjoʔ o̥ćnuhoʔ to two millions people
Ordinal numerals are formed by adding the ordinal ending -iju/-ju to the cardinal numeral form, with some irregularities:
| țe̥ʔiju | |
| iʔẙqiju | |
| emqi̥ju | |
| anḁ̈ŕiju | |
| fḁ̈niju | |
| yťŕḁ̈ju | |
| iħśü̥ju | |
| ʔe̥ćiju | |
| ḁtjöju | |
| po̥ʔiju | |
| poʔițe̥ʔuju | |
| poʔiʔẙqiju | |
| iʔquʔḁ̥triju | |
| ʔḁtriju | |
| ipʔemqi̥ju | |
| u̥nciju | |
| nocyťŕḁ̈ju | |
| ëțnẙtiju | |
| țnëtḁtjöju |
If the numeral form is composite, the ending is added only to the last numeral form:
- 25th: ʔatru ka fänuju
