Numerals
The numeral system relies on a decimal base.
The first ten cardinal numbers are forms on their own:
| pɛːm | |
| laz | |
| ħuːd | |
| ɖajr | |
| ʂuʡ | |
| towŋ | |
| kiːr | |
| ʐeːr | |
| bɔp | |
| ʂujl |
Numerals from 11 to 19 can be built:
- With the numeral unit + the numeral ʂujl, NUM + ʂujl
| pɛːmʂujl | |
| lazʂujl |
- With ʂujl + the postposition nɔ, over, + the numeral unit, ʂujl + nɔ + NUM:
| ʂujlnɔpɛːm | |
| ʂujlnɔlaz |
The numeral for (one) hundred is a form on its own:
| qijm |
The numeral (one) thousand is morphologically derived from the form for (one) hundred:
| ɴɔrqijm |
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 |
Numerals for “million” and “billion” are loanwords from Iðâɣ language:
| šurentu (from I. šúrěntu ) | |
| mešurentu (from I. mêšúrěntu ) |
These forms are treated as noun-like forms and can be used with other numerals:
| ču šurentu | |
| dü̃ mešurentu |
They are however treated as normal numerals when used with nouns. Nouns adjoining such numerals are not introduced by any preposition:
lar šurentu hɛ two millions people
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
