Language contact with Minhast has drastically changed the original Vadi number system. Of the original cardinal numbers, only the numbers for the three through nine retained their original forms; the numbers one, two, and ten are whole-scale borrowings from Minhast. The original ordinal numbers were better preserved, with only the ordinals for eight and ten replaced by Minhast-derived numerals. From eleven through nineteen for both cardinals and ordinals, a hybrid Minhast-Vadi system evolved. | Language contact with Minhast has drastically changed the original Vadi number system.

From eleven through nineteen for both cardinals and ordinals, a hybrid Minhast-Vadi system evolved. For these ordinals, ''tazem'' became truncated to a prefix ''taz''- joined to the unit number and triggers various sandhi processes. | ||
The Vadi system was originally a base-ten system, as can be seen from numbers 1-20. Numbers beyond twenty have been replaced by the [[Minhast#Cardinals_and_Ordinals | Minhast system ]] in its entirety; it transformed into a base-20 system, and the original Minhast phonemes, such as /x/, have also been preserved. | The Vadi system was originally a base-ten system, as can be seen from numbers 1-20.
