Quantifiers in Corrádi take two forms, a substantive form, and an attributive form. As substantives, they syntactically behave like nouns, capable of assuming agent, patient, and oblique roles. They do not take case marking, falling under the class of invariable nouns. The attributive form is etymologically derived from the construct case, although some irregularities, principally in the vowel preceding the ''-n'' component of the construct affix, appear (e.g. ''contor<u>i</u>n'' vs. expected *''contoron''). An intrusive ''-d-'' appears in ''coro<u>d</u>in'' "both", and ''míle<u>d</u>in'' "each". | |||
