Numerals

The numeral system relies on a decimal base.

Cardinal numerals

The first ten cardinal numbers are noun-like forms on their own:

digit
full form
1:
ʂajqo
2:
qaki
3:
mikow
4:
wowhe
5:
çajwe
6:
ðujha
7:
ŕaʂä
8:
cuqe
9:
ʈobu
10:
βjeqo

Numerals from 11 to 19 are built with the construction NUM + βjeqo + na:

12:
qakiβjeqona
13:
mikowβjeqona
14:
wowheβjeqona
15:
çajweβjeqona
16:
ðujhaβjeqona
17:
ŕaʂäβjeqona
18:
cuqeβjeqona
19:
ʈobuβjeqona

The numerals for (one) hundred and (one) thousand are noun-like forms on their own:

digit
full form
100:
ñā́tu
1000:
wiʔā́

The numerals for the multiples of tens, hundreds and thousands are built with the construction NUM + re + phḗʔo/ñā́tu/wiʔā́:

tens
hundreds
thousands
2x:
ʔakirephḗʔo ʔakireñā́tu ʔakirewiʔā́
3x:
mikṓrephḗʔo mikṓreñā́tu mikṓrewiʔā́
4x:
gṓwerephḗʔo gṓwereñā́tu gṓwerewiʔā́
5x:
pā́gerephḗʔo pā́gereñā́tu pā́gerewiʔā́
6x:
thū́warephḗʔo thū́wareñā́tu thū́warewiʔā́
7x:
hašɑrephḗʔo hašɑreñā́tu hašɑrewiʔā́
8x:
kuʔerephḗʔo kuʔereñā́tu kuʔerewiʔā́
9x:
tsṓjurephḗʔo tsṓjureñā́tu tsṓjurewiʔā́

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:

  • 1985: wiʔā́ tsṓjureñā́tu kuʔerephḗʔo pā́ge

All cardinal numerals are meant as invariable forms.

Ordinal numerals

Ordinal numerals are formed by adding the adjectival ending -ko to the cardinal numeral form:

digit
adjective form
1st:
šā́ʔoko
2nd:
ʔakiko
3rd:
mikṓko
4th:
gṓweko
5th:
pā́geko
6th:
thū́wako
7th:
hašɑko
8th:
kuʔeko
9th:
tsṓjuko
10th:
phḗʔoko

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

  • 25th: ʔakirephḗʔo pā́geko

Fractional numerals

Fractional numerals are formed by adding the derivative ending -gū́ to the cardinal numeral form, with the exceptions of the numeral one, and an irregular suppletive form:

digit
full form
1:
-
2:
kū́pho
3:
mikṓgū́
4:
gṓwegū́
5:
pā́gegū́
6:
thū́wagū́
7:
hašɑgū́
8:
kuʔegū́
9:
tsṓjugū́
10:
phḗʔogū́
11:
šā́ʔophḗʔonagū́
12:
ʔakiphḗʔonagū́
20:
ʔakirephḗʔogū́
60:
thū́warephḗʔogū́
300:
mikṓreñā́tugū́
9000:
tsṓjurewiʔā́gū́

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

  • 25: ʔakirephḗʔo pā́gegū́

Distributive numerals

Distributive numerals are formed by adding the derivative ending -jḗ to the cardinal numeral form:

digit
full form
1:
šā́ʔojḗ
2:
ʔakijḗ
3:
mikṓjḗ
4:
gṓwejḗ
5:
pā́gejḗ
6:
thū́wajḗ
7:
hašɑjḗ
8:
kuʔejḗ
9:
tsṓjujḗ
10:
phḗʔojḗ
11:
šā́ʔophḗʔonajḗ
12:
ʔakiphḗʔonajḗ
20:
ʔakirephḗʔojḗ
60:
thū́warephḗʔojḗ
300:
mikṓreñā́tujḗ
9000:
tsṓjurewiʔā́jḗ

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

  • 25: ʔakirephḗʔo pā́gejḗ

Multiplier numerals

Multiplier numerals are formed by adding the derivative ending -renɑ to the cardinal numeral form:

digit
full form
1:
šā́ʔorenɑ
2:
ʔakirenɑ
3:
mikṓrenɑ
4:
gṓwerenɑ

8:
kuʔerenɑ
9:
tsṓjurenɑ
10:
phḗʔorenɑ
11:
šā́ʔophḗʔonarenɑ
12:
ʔakiphḗʔonarenɑ
20:
ʔakirephḗʔorenɑ
60:
thū́warephḗʔorenɑ
300:
mikṓreñā́turenɑ
9000:
tsṓjurewiʔā́renɑ

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

  • 25: ʔakirephḗʔo pā́gerenɑ
