==Numerals==

Cardinal numerals one and two (and those ending in "1" or "2") are declined as adjectives. Cardinals that end in ''šolaf'' (3) through ''cés'' (9) or in ''hošor'' (10-19) are declined like feminine singular nouns in adnominal position (''Jef šolafa ęsáj'' 'There are three people') and like masculine singular nouns in nominal position (''Jef šolaf'' 'There are three').

Different numerals are declined differently:

*Cardinal numerals one and two (and those ending in "1" or "2") are declined as adjectives. All other numerals require the noun they modify to be in the genitive case.

*Cardinals that end in ''šolaf'' (3) through ''cés'' (9) or in ''hošor'' (10-19) are declined like feminine singular nouns in adnominal position (''Jef šolafa ęsáj'' 'There are three people') and like masculine singular nouns in nominal position (''Jef šolaf'' 'There are three').

*Cardinals that end in ''šolafy'' (30), 'roboqy'' (40), ..., ''césy'' (90) are declined as masculine plural nouns.

*''Meja'' (100) and ''olop'' (1000) are declined as masculine nouns.

Since {{PAGENAME}} has singular and dual forms, modifying numerals one and two are not needed; thus ''Nǫšú voldě v bęto'' 'I have two sons and a daughter' is just as correct as ''Nǫšú flě voldě v ahdoto bęto''.
