''Yan'' "100" is the highest unique numeral. Above this, tens and units follow after the conjunctive particle ''i'', e.g. ''yan i wan'' "101", ''yan i waksel-tulfap'' "193".

Multiples of 100 are formed like multiples of 20 but continue beyond "4x", e.g. ''ģakyan'' "200", ''fapyan'' "300", ''maswanyan'' "600", ''tulyan'' "1,000", ''petyan'' "1,500", ''selyan'' "2,000".

Higher numbers (above 100) are rarely attested; the system for counting above 2,000 is unknown and may not have existed. The word ''hatmara'' occurs in some contexts and appears to have originally meant "a great number" but may have been used in later Kelt to translate Latin ''milia'' "thousand".
