The Nankôre number system is dozenal, i.e. base-12. The numbers thirteen through twenty-three are modified compounds consisting of the unit numbers ''shori'' (1) through ''shiktash'' (11) compounded to ''shin'' (12). The number twenty-four ''hanoshin'' can be analyzed as ''han-o-shin'', where the affix ''-o-'' signifies "multiplied by", so ''hanoshin'' literally means "two times twelve". The multiplicative pattern continues until the number 144, which is called ''nakpa''.

The multiplicative pattern continues until the number 144, which is called ''nakpa''. The number 100 (''nenanoshin'') is literally "four (and) eight times twelve". The ordinals for the numbers 1-7 are the cardinal numbers suffixed by ''-ak'' or ''-ok''. Numbers 8-11 are the cardinal numbers suffixed with the ending ''-u''. The ordinal for the number 12 is again suffixed with ''-ok'', and the higher numbers with ''-nok''. If the ''-nok'' affix is preceded by a consonant followed by ''-i-'', the ''-i-'' may be dropped, provided that this does not form the impermissible consonant cluster -CCC- sequence.
