Cardinal numbers come before nouns in the unmarked form. If there is no unmarked form, the plural is used if it ends in ''-eeya'', ''-ooya'', or ''-oowa''. Otherwise, the singulative is used. | Cardinal numbers come before nouns in the unmarked form. If there is no unmarked form, the plural is used if it ends in ''-eeya'', ''-ooya'', or ''-oowa''.

Numbers also have a singulative form used to refer to a group consisting of that many members, with a corresponding collective - e.g. ''lammeeti'' "pair; couple"; ''lammeeya'' "pairs; couples". To refer to a single member from a group, a double singulative can be used - e.g. ''lammeeticha/lammeetitti'' "member of a pair/couple". The table below only shows the collective forms; the singulatives are formed regularly. | |||
