 Different cardinal numerals are declined differently, and have various effects on the modified noun depending on the final digits of the numeral:
 *Cardinal numerals one and two, and those ending in "1" or "2", are declined as adjectives. The modified noun is singular (and agrees in case) for numbers ending in ''ahod'', and the noun is dual for numbers ending in ''fla''.
-**''Nul'' as a slang term ('zero' as an adjective) takes nominative singular.
+**''Nul'' also takes nominative singular.
 *All other numerals are declined as nouns and require the noun they modify to be in the genitive plural.
 **Words ''šolaf'' (3) through ''cés'' (9) or in ''qošor'' (10-19) are declined like feminine singular nouns in adnominal position (''Hén šolafa onasi'' 'There are three people') and like masculine singular nouns in nominal position (''Hén šolaf'' 'There are three'). This derives from the original Semitic chiastic agreement.
 **Words ''qošory'' (20), ''šolafy'' (30), ..., ''césy'' (90) are declined as masculine plural nouns.
-**Units such as ''nul'' (0, ''m''), ''meja'' (100, ''f''), ''olop'' (1000, ''m''), ''milijon'', ''milijarda'', etc. are declined as ordinary nouns, taking the appropriate number and case.
