===Reified numerals=== | |||
Reified numerals, or numerals used as nouns, have a special form, which is actually the numeral with the common noun-forming suffix ''-as'' added (with regular saṃdhi). These numerals are used for: | |||
* In order to refer to the digit themselves (''danyas'' "the digit 2"); | |||
* Things named with numbers (''tulūɂās'' "[tram/bus/etc] number 6"); | |||
* <small>''(in the plural)''</small> Year dozens (''vælknihælē'' "the 60<sub>12</sub>s = the 3860<sub>12</sub>s); | |||
* <small>''(in the plural)''</small> Age ranges by the dozen (''hælьmāmeyē'' "20<sub>12</sub>ies" = the age range from the start of one's 20<sub>12</sub>th year to the end of one's 2Ɛth); | |||
* School marks - note that there's no uniform system in the Inquisition (''nęltayas'' "a grade 4" (passing grade in the most widespread system for non-higher education in the Inquisition, ranging from 1 (''leilās''), worst, to 7 (''chīkās''), best)); | |||
* A group of X people - a reification of collective numerals (''pāmvyas'' "a trio"). | |||
