1/2 leci OR xalecipu; 3/4 binlecipces; where ''leci'' means "part" and the word means "three out of four parts", and thus both are cardinals.
Fractions have the numerator before the denominator, like 3/7 binlecit, "three out of four parts", and thus both are cardinals. Some fractions have common names: 1/2 leci; 1/4 lagi; 1/12 loi.


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''.
