The numeral ondo (100) functions as a regular Class 3 neuter noun. Because it is a noun itself, it does not agree in gender with the noun it quantifies. The higher hundreds are pluralia tantum formed by compounding the base numeral with -(o)nda, the plural form of ondo.

Combinations of a hundred and a lower number are expressed by just placing them together, with the hundred coming first:
* 111 ondo·elfe;
* 164 ondosessantafeddor;
* 788 siunda·attanta·attuo.
Mille is a regular Class 4 noun. Combinations of a thousand and a lower number are expressed by placing them together, with the thousand coming first. A space is written between them:
* 1 066 mille sessantasè;
* 9 011 niumilli ellefe;
* 61 500 sessanta·ienomilli fifonda;
* 123 456 ondoventaþreimilli feddorondafifantasè.
For numerals of one million (millione Class 4) and above (milliarde Class 4), Luthic employs the long scale system, common throughout continental Europe.
* millione: 10⁶ (one million);
* milliarde: 10⁹ (one thousand million);
* billione: 10¹² (one million million);
* billiarde: 10¹⁵ (one thousand million million).
Luthic’s ordinals, besides a few irregular suppleted forms, use the suffix -þo or -to before fricatives (Class 1n). The historic cluster -fto resulted in -tto.

Multiple numbers only take the suffix in the last element:
* 123 ondoventaþriþo;
* 2011 tuemilli elletto.
Bigger numbers follow the same logic:
* millionth millioneþo;
* billionth milliardeþo.
