.

Digits from zero to nine have specific names: neunhee [0], nane [1], jees or daa when compound [2], tree [3], kiare [4], queig [5], shey [6], shiaght [7], hoght [8], and nuy [9].

The tens are following a vigesimal system (based on twenty): jeih [10], feed [20], jeih as feed (10+20) [30], daeed (2*20) [40], jeih as daeed (10+2*20) [50], tree feed (3*20) [60], tree feed as jeih (3*20+10) [70], kiare feed (4*20) [80], and kiare feed as jeih (4*20+10) [90]. We can note that addition and multiplication are not kept in the same order in the ten creation: 30 and 50 use the 10+y*20 pattern, while 70 and 90 use the y*20+10 pattern.

A decimal system also exists, using the following tens: jeih [10], feed [20], treead [30], daeed [40], queigad [50], sheyad [60], shiagtad [70], hoghtad [80], and nuyad [90].

Teens are formed by starting with the unit, followed by a hyphen and the word for ten (jeig, or yeig for twelve): nane-jeig [11], daa-yeig [12], tree-jeig [13], kiare-jeig [14], queig-jeig [15], shey-jeig [16], shiaght-jeig [17], hoght-jeig [18], and nuy-jeig [19].

Compound numbers from twenty-one to fifty-nine are formed starting with the unit (or the teen), followed by the particle as, then the ten (e.g.: jees as feed [22], kiare-jeig as daeed [54]).

From sixty-one to ninety-nine, the order is reversed, as compound numbers are formed starting with the ten, followed by the particle as, then the unit (or the teen) (e.g.: tree feed as queig [65], kiare feed as shiaght-jeig [97]).

Hundreds are formed by stating the multiplier digit before the word for hundred (cheed), linked with a hyphen, except for one hundred: keead [100], daa-cheed [200], tree-cheed [300], kiare-cheed [400], queig-cheed [500], shey-cheed [600], shiaght-cheed [700], hoght-cheed [800], and nuy-cheed [900].

The word for thousand is milley.
