Numbers

This will be, perhaps, the shortest lesson in the Tutorial. Numbers are simply another type of adjective. They follow the same rules as other adjectives; they must follow the object described.

• Zegora ishrak aduk ar tegdarg odgoz. -> Five giaks damage the barricade with a catapult.
• ¿ Ta okakim zek kika kez ? -> Are you hiding many coins(money) ?

For numbers larger than ninety-nine, giaks generally used the word for many: kez.

Numbers like twenty-two and seventy-eight are hyphenated combinations of two numbers.

• Twenty-two -> Gogoz-ig
• Seventy-eight -> Nazgiz-sha
• Thirteen -> Da-ga

Note that thirteen is not 'ishrakig-ga.' 'Da' is the proper word to use for the -teen numbers.
