With the exception of the first six, ordinal numerals are formed from the cardinal ones by adding the suffix ''-in'': ''ra '''eše'''zur'' "for the third time". An ordinal can make up a noun phrase in its own right: ''ešne sathukkatō'' "the fourth one has been received". An ordinal can also make up an adverbial phrase. The following phrases, for instance, occur frequently: ''ŋizur'' "firstly", ''mēzur'' "secondly". | With the exception of the first six, ordinal numerals are formed from the cardinal ones by adding the suffix ''-in'': ''ra '''eše'''zur'' "for the third time".

Many fractions are expressed by a form of the phrase ''ik(i/e)-N-teš'', where ''ik'' is "one", N represents a cardinal and ''-teš/-theš'' is a suffix that means "part". It behaves grammatically as a noun phrase, for example: '''''ikeškatheš'''nu nirinuxa'' "one third of this is on top of it". The only exception is 1/2 (one half) which is instead expressed with ''immau''. Other fractions are compounds: ''cu k-ikeškatheš'' "two and a third". | |||
