The first two ordinals are ''keri'' and ''jarig''. Other ordinals are formed by suffixing -(a)l: ''cäžil'' "third", ''bupal'' "eighth". Ordinal forms of compound numbers add -(a)l to the last part, except if this is ''bå'' or ''šuma'', in which case ''keri'' and ''jarig'' are used: ''fieta ja čapail'' "57th", ''bupta ja jarig'' "82nd". | |||
