Ordinals are formed simply by adding the suffix ''-im'' to the cardinal number or to the end of a hyphenated string, e.g. ''wanim'' "first", ''maswakim'' "ninth", ''sel-tulim'' "30th". With "100" and above, the suffix is added to the hundred, e.g. ''yanim i wan'' "101st", ''tulyanim i sel-tulwak'' "1034th". | Ordinals are formed simply by adding the suffix ''-im'' to the cardinal number or to the end of a hyphenated string, e.g. ''wanim'' "first", ''maswakim'' "ninth", ''sel-tulim'' "30th".
