+Hwnic uses Arabic numerals.
+ '''Number'''        1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9
+ '''Pronunciation''' xa  vu  bim ces gis os  it  cu  den
+A marker at the beginning how many digits, then enumerate the digits. 2-digit xoq; 3-digit xem; 4-digit rea; 5-digit ran; 6-digit osugo; 7-digit itugo; 8-digit cuugo; 9-digit denugo; 10-digit xoqxakulugo
+014 osugogisititleikulxaces
+As a suffix, 0 is reduced to -''ul'' before a consonant, 2 is reduced to ''-u'', 3 and 9 display nasal concord. The letters qx may be pronounced same as q, or with aspiration. The letters qc is pronounced as a palatal plosive.
+/2 leci OR xalecipu; 3/4 binlecipces; where 'leci' means "part" and the word means "three out of four parts", and thus both are cardinals.
+'xoqu' means 12 in no particular arrangement, 'bintoces' means 3x4 arrangement, 'vutoos' means 2x6 arrangement. The small number goes first.
+To say 1x12 or 12 objects filed in one row, it would not be *''xatoxoqxa'', but rather with a collective suffix. A row of 12 apples would be ''xoqa oqulil''. To say 12 rows of (each with) 12 apples, it would be ''xoqatoxoqa oqulix''!
