* Purpose: the primary conjunction of purpose is forvo “so that, in order that”, which introduces a clause stating the goal of the main action. The verb in a purpose clause is typically in the subjunctive mood, as it expresses a desired, non-factual outcome. | * Purpose: the primary conjunction of purpose is forvo “so that, in order that”, which introduces a clause stating the goal of the main action.

===Numerals=== | |||
Luthic distinguishes between cardinal numerals (answering ‘how many?’) and ordinal numerals (answering ‘which in order?’). | |||

The Luthic word for 0 is zephero, a regular Class 3 neuter noun. While ienu, iena and ieno follows a regular Class 1, 2 & 3 declension, tui, tue, tua and þrei have irregular plurale tantum paradigms. Other numbers are indeclinable. | |||

Combinations of a decade and a unit are constructed in a regular way: the decade comes first followed by the unit. No spaces are written between them. Vowel collision triggers an interpunct. For example: | |||
* 28 venta·attuo; | |||
* 73 siuntaþrei; | |||
* 81 attanta·ienu. | |||
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. | |||
