ABSTRACT
The table on pp. 106-7 gives the forms of the cardinal and ordinal numerals from 1 to 1,000,000,000 (a billion). The cardinal numerals are the basic forms (‘one’, ‘two’, ‘three’, etc.). The ordinal numerals indicate position in a series (‘first’, second’, ‘third’, etc.). Several of the cardinal numerals are declined for gender and case. In the table those forms which decline are printed in italics, in their nominative masculine forms. The details of their declensional patterns are given in section 5.2. The ordinal numerals are all declined like adjectives in -o~, -h, -o (see section 3.33). ‘Zero’ or ‘nought’ is the neuter noun mhdevn (see section 3.29).
