Numbers from one to nine are specific words, namely énska [1], tékeni [2], áhsen [3], kaié:ri [4], wisk [5], ià:ia’k [6], tsá:ta [7], sha’té:kon [8], and tióhton [9].

Tens are formed by putting the multiplier digit before the word for tens (niwáhsen), except for ten itself and for twenty (for which it is contracted): oié:ri [10], tewáhsen [20], áhsen niwáhsen [30], kaié:ri niwáhsen [40], wisk niwáhsen [50], iá:ia’k niwáhsen [60], tsá:ta niwáhsen [70], sha’té:kon niwáhsen [80], and tióhton niwáhsen [90].

The teens are formed by putting the word iawén:re after the unit name (e.g.: énska iawén:re [11], kaié:ri iawén:re [14]). In the other compound numerals, the ten is put first, then the digit (e.g.: tewáhsen wisk [25], wisk niwáhsen sha’té:kon [58]).

Hundreds are formed by saying the multiplier unit, then the word for hundred (tewen’niáwe): énska tewen’niáwe [100], tékeni tewen’niáwe [200], áhsen tewen’niáwe [300], kaié:ri tewen’niáwe [400], wisk tewen’niáwe [500], ià:ia’k tewen’niáwe [600], tsá:ta tewen’niáwe [700], sha’té:kon tewen’niáwe [800], and tióhton tewen’niáwe [900].

Thousands are formed like tens of hundreds, i.e. by saying the multiplier ten, then the word for thousand (tewen’niáwe): oié:ri tewen’niáwe [1,000], tewáhsen tewen’niáwe [2,000], áhsen niwáhsen tewen’niáwe [3,000], kaié:ri niwáhsen tewen’niáwe [4,000], wisk niwáhsen tewen’niáwe [5,000], iá:ia’k niwáhsen tewen’niáwe [6,000], tsá:ta niwáhsen tewen’niáwe [7,000], sha’té:kon niwáhsen tewen’niáwe [8,000], and tióhton niwáhsen tewen’niáwe [9,000].

In compound numerals, the hundred and the unit, and the thousand and the unit are linked together by the word tánon, meaning and (e.g.: énska tewen’niáwe tánon énska [101], oié:ri tewen’niáwe tánon énska [1,001]).

The word for million is million.
