| |
| Units are written linked to the tens with a hyphen, while tens and hundreds are written detached, ex.: 195 ''hůdre nejnti-wy''.
| |
|
| |
| From 100 on, numerals are formed with a suffix '-od': 200 ''twåod'', 300 ''tryod'', 400 ''wjorod'', 500 ''wyod'', 600 ''sysod'', 700 ''sjounod'', 800 ''jåtod'', 900 ''nejnod''. This form is the evolution of a former juxtaposition, ex.: ''try hůd > tryod''.
| |
|
| |
| Please note that the numeral 200 is irregular, because an alternative form of 2, that is ''twå'', is used. Also the form for hundred in compounds is irregular: ''hůd'', this form is quite archaic nowadays.
| |
|
| |
| The ordinals of the numbers from 200 to 900 are obtained by substituting the final '-d' for '-t', ex.: 200 ''twåod'' > 200th ''twåot''.
| |
|
| |
| A thousand is said ''tusenn'' and its ordinal form is ''tusent''. The numbers from 1000 on are expressed with a hypen, ex.: 2000 ''twejn-tůsenn'', 5000 ''wy-tůsenn'', 9000 ''nejn-tůsenn'' and so on.
| |
|
| |
| The word for a million is ''miklenn'' (< O.E. ''miclung'', "greatness" × Ti. ''tůsenn'') and it behaves as ''tůsenn''.
| |
|
| |
| A thousand million is ''an tůsenn miklenn''. A billion (in the sense of a million million) is ''biklenn'', from the French "bi- + million", that has been substituted for "bi- + miklenn".
