 ===Numbers===
-Cardinal numbers precede nouns, while ordinal numbers follow them. Ordinal numbers behave as nouns in the genitive.
+Numbers in Af Mexee are nouns. Ordinal numbers are the genitives of the corresponding cardinal numbers.
+*Cardinal numbers precede the noun they modify, which appears in the genitive. When modified by a cardinal number, nouns are usually in the singular since the plural marking is redundant (but still allowed). If the indefinite genitive is used, it is always ''-oód'' (regardless of which ending the noun normally takes).
+:e.g. ''áfar nín'' / ''áfar nimooýn'' / ''áfar nimoód'' "four men"
+*Ordinal numbers follow the noun being modified.
+:e.g. ''nínki afraád'' "the fourth man"
+*Distributives are formed by reduplication.
+:e.g. ''láma láma'' "two by two" / "two for each"
+*Multipliers are formed with the word ''laáb (laap-)'' "fold"
+:e.g. ''láma laáb'' "two-fold"
