Chlouvānem

Etymology

From Pre-Chlouvānem *vælka (half) and nihæla (one hundred and forty-four (100₁₂)).

Pronunciation

(Standard) IPA: [ʋɛŋkniɦɛɴ̆ä]

(Līlasuṃghāṇi) IPA: [ʋɛɴqniɦɛɴ̆ɐ] or [ʋeɴqniɦɛɴ̆ɐ]

Numeral

vælknihæla (cardinal numeral; ordinal vælknihælende, collective vælknihælatām, distributive vælknihælihaicē, multiplicative vælknihælarvīm, fractionary vælknihælendvāṭ)

1. seventy-two (60₁₂)

   vælknihæla maivu udhultaṃte.

   I have written seventy-two words.

Inflection

In Archaic Chlouvānem, it used to be inflected following the 1h declension (as nihæla does); however, in current Chlouvānem, it and māmyāvælka are not inflected due to analogy with māmei and other words for multiples of twelve.
