Ordinal numerals are formed by adding the derivative ending -ŋuː to the cardinal numeral form, with the exceptions of the numeral one:

seven → seventh

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

  • 25th: ʔakirepʰeːʔo ṕaːŋeŋuː

There is, however, one irregular suppletive form:

half:
ḱuːpho
