Digits from one to nine are rendered by specific words: paʔa [1], saʔa [2], čɛlas [3], mos [4], θiyɛčɩs [5], t̓əxəm [6], tᶿočɩs [7], taʔačɩs [8], and tɩgiχʷ [9].

The tens are formed by suffixing the root of the multiplier digit with aɬ šɛ, except for ten, twenty and thirty: opən [10], θamšɛ [20], čɩnuxʷ šɛ [30], mosaɬ šɛ [40], θiyɛčɩsaɬšɛ [50], t̓əχmaɬ šɛ [60], tᶿočɩsaɬ šɛ [70], taʔačɩsaɬ šɛ [80], and tɩgixʷaɬ šɛ [90].

The teens are formed by stating the word for ten starting with a glottal stop (ʔopən), then the word hekʷ, and the unit digit (e.g.: ʔopən hekʷ paʔa [11], ʔopən hekʷ čɛlas [13]). Other compound numbers are formed by stating the ten, then the word heykʷ and the unit digit (e.g.: θamšɛ heykʷ θiyɛčɩs [25], tᶿočɩsaɬ šɛ heykʷ čɛlɩs [73]).

Hundreds are formed by setting the multiplier before the word for hundred (təsɛʔɛč): paʔa təsɛʔɛč [100], saʔa təsɛʔɛč [200], čɛlas təsɛʔɛč [300], mos təsɛʔɛč [400], θiyɛčɩs təsɛʔɛč [500], t̓əxəm təsɛʔɛč [600], tᶿočɩs təsɛʔɛč [700], taʔačɩs təsɛʔɛč [800], and tɩgiχʷ təsɛʔɛč [900].

Thousands are tens of hundreds, and formed by setting the multiplier before the word for hundred (təsɛʔɛč): ʔopən təsɛʔɛč [1,000] (10*100), θamšɛ təsɛʔɛč [2,000] (20*100), čɩnuxʷ šɛ təsɛʔɛč [3,000], mosaɬ šɛ təsɛʔɛč [4,000], θiyɛčɩsaɬšɛ təsɛʔɛč [5,000], t̓əχmaɬ šɛ təsɛʔɛč [6,000], tᶿočɩsaɬ šɛ təsɛʔɛč [7,000], taʔačɩsaɬ šɛ təsɛʔɛč [8,000], and tɩgixʷaɬ šɛ təsɛʔɛč [9,000].

Compound numbers are formed by linking their components with the word hekʷ (e.g.: təsɛʔɛč hekʷ paʔa [101], ʔopən təsɛ?ɛč hekʷ θamšɛ [1,020]).
