 ====Cardinal numerals====
-Lifashian cardinal numerals are inflected only in the forms from 1 to 4 (and numbers ending in the digits 1-4), as well as 100 and 1000; however, while 1-4 have their own peculiar declensions, hundreds and thousands decline as nouns.
+Lifashian cardinal numerals are inflected for case only in the forms from 1 to 4 (and numbers ending in the digits 1-4), which also agree in gender with the noun, as well as 100 and 1000; however, while 1-4 have their own peculiar declensions, hundreds and thousands decline as nouns.
 The declension of 1-4 is as follows:

+is '''syandom''' and, unlike most other cardinals, it is declined for case and number as a third declension noun (with the stem ''syand-'' and accent on the ending). It does not combine with tens and units, and the number of hundreds may either be written separately or conjoined; conjoined writing is preferred in the formal language.

+Similarly, 1000 is the neuter noun '''hesyarom''', also declined as a regular third declension noun. In the standard language, stress is on the first syllable of the stem. Unlike with hundreds, thousands are never written conjoined, e.g. 2000 ''luyó hesyará'', 4896 ''pitór hesyará astúsyandá syúsynússyát''.
