For numbers like 21, 23 and so forth, the unit comes first, followed by the ten; they're linked together by -i-, or -u- when the unit ends on -i.
Examples:

  • 21: sáivrála
  • 33: líailíala
  • 66: láiuláinala
  • 67: léiuláinala
  • 105: ǿse lúe
  • 318: ljáse sélna
  • 540: lêse mâla
  • 677: laínse léiuléiala
  • 842: jálejse vrâimâla
  • 999: faráse faráifarála


Higher numbers (thousands, hundreds, millions, etc.) follow a simmilar pattern than tens and hundreds: simply add the appropriate suffix to the number.
The suffixes are:

  • thousand: -(i)nne
  • million: -(i)tte
  • billion (milliard): -(i)kke
  • trillion (billion): -(i)ffe

Examples:

  • 1000: asínne
  • 2000: vrâinne
  • 7000: léinne
  • 10,000: šálainne
  • 13,000: séliainne
  • 50,000: lúelainne
  • 87,000: léiulêjalainne
  • 100,000: ǿseinne
  • 1,000,000: asítte
  • 1,000,000,000: asíkke
  • 1,000,000,000,000: asíffe


Units and tens are always written together; hundreds and units and tens are written separate unless when a suffix is added, then they're written together (but no other changes occur).
Examples:

  • 189,027: ǿsefaráilêjalainne léiuvrála
  • 8,354,924: lêjaitte ljásemâilúelainne faráse mâivrála
  • 530,402,084,912: lêselíalaikke másevrâitte mâilêjalainne faráse séva

The clitic forms are suffixed to nouns; there can be more than one suffix per noun.

Example:

  • (364,000) three hundred sixty-four thousand years: eróelliemiakkinne (eróelliemiakkinne)
