For numbers: 2-4, 6-20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, ordinal numerals are formed by replacing ''-h'' with ''-tot'', and multiplying prefixes: with ''-w̃'' (ogonek or tilde). Multiples of 10 and 100 are formed by multiplying prefixes. Multiples of 10 000, 1 000 000 and more - by describing.

Emyt fka. Emmut (em. ral'ęmyt syr'atkan /ɾalʔeɰ̃mɯt sɯɹʔatkan/, pol. język ęmucki) - an a priori conlang with some nostratic elements, one of the best described conlangs of Miłosz Mazurkiewicz. It has mainly agglutinative with many polysynthetic and flective elements.

The language is a part of Et (Edyt) language con-family. The most related Edyt languages are Belldallud and Ymnit.

It was also thought as funlang, part of Polish group conworld project Gruszki Na Wierzbie (Pears in the Sky, lit. Pears on the Willow).

Phonology

Syllables take main part in Emyt phonology. Consonants clusters are only allowed at syllables' boundaries (final + initial).

Every Emyt syllable consists of:

  • onset - initial consonant or glottal stop;
  • nucleus - oral (monomoraic) or nasal (dimoraic) vowel;
  • coda (optional) - final consonant.

There are no trimoraic syllables (eg. having nasal vowel and coda, or two final consonants):

  • da [dæ] - oral vowel; open, light syllable;
  • [dæɨ̯̃] - nasal vowel; open, heavy syllable;
  • dak [dæ̆k] - oral vowel; closed, heavy syllable.

Cardinal numerals:

  1. keh
  2. guh
  3. kekuh
  4. ryh
  5. mikan
  6. śoh
  7. keśoh
  8. veh
  9. keveh
  10. mah
  11. kemah
  12. majguh
  13. kemajguh
  14. majryh
  15. kemajryh
  16. majśoh
  17. kemajśoh
  18. majveh
  19. kemajveh
  20. gųmah
  21. gųmah keh
  22. gųmah guh
  23. gųmah kekuh
  24. gųmah ryh
  25. mikmikan
etc.

For numbers: 2-4, 6-20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, ordinal numerals are formed by replacing -h with -tot, and multiplying prefixes: with -w̃ (ogonek or tilde). Multiples of 10 and 100 are formed by multiplying prefixes. Multiples of 10 000, 1 000 000 and more - by describing.
