Cardinal numbers precede nouns, | Numbers in Af Mexee are nouns. Ordinal numbers are the genitives of the corresponding cardinal numbers. | ||
*Cardinal numbers precede the noun they modify, which appears in the genitive. When modified by a cardinal number, nouns are usually in the singular since the plural marking is redundant (but still allowed). If the indefinite genitive is used, it is always ''-oód'' (regardless of which ending the noun normally takes). | |||
:e.g. ''áfar nín'' / ''áfar nimooýn'' / ''áfar nimoód'' "four men" | |||
*Ordinal numbers follow the noun being modified. | |||
:e.g. ''nínki afraád'' "the fourth man" | |||
*Distributives are formed by reduplication. | |||
:e.g. ''láma láma'' "two by two" / "two for each" | |||
*Multipliers are formed with the word ''laáb (laap-)'' "fold" | |||
:e.g. ''láma laáb'' "two-fold" | |||
