Fractional numerals

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

χaʂæχaʂæŋuː
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

Distributive numerals

Distributive numerals can be formed:

  • by adding the adjectival ending -jeː to the cardinal numeral form:
mikoːmikoːjeː
three → three each
  • by adding the comparative ending -rejeː to the cardinal numeral form:
ʈoːjuʈoːjurejeː
nine → nine each

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

  • 25: ʔakirepʰeːʔo ṕaːŋejeː
