Numerals
The numeral system relies on a decimal base.
The first ten cardinal numbers are forms on their own:
| bö̃ | |
| lar | |
| ču | |
| ɟä | |
| ɕu | |
| dü̃ | |
| ɟi | |
| žy | |
| hɔp | |
| ɕüw |
Numerals from 11 to 19 are built with the construction ɕüw + nɔ + NUM:
| ɕüwnɔbö̃ | |
| ɕüwnɔlar | |
| ɕüwnɔču | |
| ɕüwnɔɟä | |
| ɕüwnɔɕu | |
| ɕüwnɔdü̃ | |
| ɕüwnɔɟi | |
| ɕüwnɔžy | |
| ɕüwnɔhɔp |
The numerals for (one) hundred and (one) thousand are forms on their own:
| čĩ | |
| nɔčĩ |
The numerals for the multiples of tens, hundreds and thousands are built with the construction NUM + -arɕüw / -arčĩ / -arnɔčĩ. As these suffixes has often merged with the cardinal form, most forms are irregularly built:
| lararɕüw | lararčĩ | lararnɔčĩ | |
| čɔrɕüw | čɔrčĩ | čɔrnɔčĩ | |
| ɟärɕüw | ɟärčĩ | ɟärnɔčĩ | |
| ɕɔrɕüw | ɕɔrčĩ | ɕɔrnɔčĩ | |
| dɑ̃rɕüw | dɑ̃rčĩ | dɑ̃rnɔčĩ | |
| ɟɛrɕüw | ɟɛrčĩ | ɟɛrnɔčĩ | |
| žörɕüw | žörčĩ | žörnɔčĩ | |
| hɔbarɕüw | hɔbarčĩ | hɔbarnɔčĩ |
Numbers above the multiples of thousands have no name and are specified by the lesser numerals.
Composite numbers are built by just putting them beside, without any conjunction, in descending order:
- 2985: lararnɔčĩ hɔbarčĩ žɛrɕüw ɕu
As for other parts of the language, all cardinal numerals are meant as invariable forms.
Ordinal numerals are formed by adding the suffix -da to the cardinal numeral form, with some irregularities:
| bö̃da | |
| larda | |
| čuɟa | |
| ɟäda | |
| ɕuda | |
| dü̃da | |
| ɟida | |
| žyda | |
| hɔvda | |
| ɕüwda | |
| ɕüwnɔbö̃da | |
| ɕüwnɔlarda | |
| ɕüwnɔčuɟa | |
| lararɕüwda | |
| čɔrɕüwda | |
| dɑ̃rčĩda | |
| hɔbarnɔčĩda |
If the numeral form is composite, the suffix is added to every form:
- 325th: čɔrčĩda lararɕüwda ɕuda
