Fractional numerals

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

χaʂæ → χaʂæŋuː
seven → seventh

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

• 25^th: 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:

mikoː → mikoːjeː
three → three each

• by adding the comparative ending -rejeː to the cardinal numeral form:

ʈoːju → ʈoːjurejeː
nine → nine each

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

• 25: ʔakirepʰeːʔo ṕaːŋejeː

Multiplier numerals

Multiplier numerals can be formed:

• by adding the adjectival ending -ko to the cardinal numeral form:

ʂaːʔo → ʂaːʔoko
one → first

• by adding the comparative ending -roː to the cardinal numeral form:

tʰuːɬa → tʰuːɬaroː
six → sixth

• by adding the comparative ending -tu to the cardinal numeral form:

ŋoːɬe → ŋoːɬetu
four → fourth

• by adding the comparative ending -lo to the cardinal numeral form:

ḱuʔe → ḱuʔelo
eight → eighth

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

• 25^th: ʔakirepʰeːʔo ṕaːŋeko
