====Cardinal numerals====
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 numerals 11-19 are compounds of the base numeral plus ''lasyam''; however, due to historical reasons, the latter root may take three different forms: ''-lasyam'' after vowels, ''-tasyam'' after voiceless consonants, and ''-dasyam'' after all other consonants. In the case of 11-14, the first component is declined.

Adverbial numerals are indeclinable adverbs meaning "X times". Numerals from 1 to 4 included are special forms, the others are regularly formed with the suffix ''-mát'' , an original suffixless locative (cfr. Skr. ''māti'', A-Gr. ''μῆτις''):

Collective numerals are used in order to count pluralia tantum or collective nouns. They have the form of fifth declension nouns used in the plural only (except for "one"); however, they do not decline for gender.  
Collective numerals are used in order to count pluralia tantum or collective nouns. They have the form of fifth declension nouns used in the plural only (except for "one"); however, they do not decline for gender.  


All collective numerals are regularly formed by adding ''-é'' (or ''-né'' after vowels) to the cardinal stem (hence without the endings for ''syandom'' and compounds), the neuter stem in the case of 4 (''pitóré''), with the exception of the irregular 1 (''nyané''), 2 (''liyé''), and 3 (''teré'').

The number four is a partial exception as it adds ''-né'' to the consonant-ending stem, i.e. resulting in ''múyné''.
