Cardinal numerals one and two (and those ending in "1" or "2") are declined as adjectives. Cardinals that end in ''šolaf'' (3) through ''cés'' (9) or in ''hošor'' (the teens) are declined like feminine singular nouns in adnominal position (''Jef šolafa ęfáj'' 'There are three people') and like masculine singular nouns in nominal position (''Jef šolaf'' 'There are three').

Since {{PAGENAME}} has singular and dual forms, modifying numerals one and two are not needed; thus ''Nošók bna v bęc'' 'I have two sons and a daughter' is just as correct as ''Nošók fla bna v ahoda bęc''.
