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 -re to the cardinal numeral form:

ʂaːʔo → ʂaːʔore
one → single, once

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

ʔaki → ʔakireko
two → double, twice, twofold

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

pʰeːʔo → pʰeːʔorenæ
ten → tenfold, ten times

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

• 25: ʔakirepʰeːʔo ṕaːŋere
