Numerals above 10 are formed with a special affix at the beginning, followed by an enumeration of the digits. Which prefix to use depends on how many digits the number has. | Numerals above 10 are formed with a special affix at the beginning, followed by an enumeration of the digits. Which prefix to use depends on how many digits the number has. Additionally, ''lei'' is inserted every three digits as the digit separator, written as a space. The numerical dot is ''rap''. | ||

Large numerals can have a scientific-notation-like system. The affix is added at the end instead, and digits are enumerated from least significant to most significant. Unspecified digits are zeros, but note that trailing zeros can be significant. | |||

Hwnic has a unusual way to express grouping with ''to'' "multiplied by": ''xoqavu'' means 12 in no particular arrangement, ''bintoces'' means | Hwnic has a unusual way to express grouping with ''to'' "multiplied by": ''xoqavu'' means 12 in no particular arrangement, ''bintoces'' means 3×4 arrangement, ''vutoos'' means 2×6 arrangement. The smaller number goes first. However, to say 1×12 or 12 objects filed in one row, it would not be *''xatoxoqavu'', but rather with a collective suffix. A row of 12 apples (''oqul'') would be ''xoqavu oqulil''. | ||
