Kihā́mmic/Numbers

This appendix gives a list of the Kihā́mmic for numbers.

Cardinal
Cardinal numbers are used to denote quantity, they are counting numbers. Cardinals are treated as nouns and decline as such.

N.B.:
 * After the indefinite article the noun is in the nominative case.
 * After zero the genitive plural is used.
 * The genitive singular is used between one and nine.
 * From ten onwards the genitive plural is used again.

E.g.:
 * án knát (a nation)
 * anám knatám (some nations)
 * ikhá knatámī (zero nations)
 * zún knátī (one nation)
 * nóv knátī (nine nations)
 * ezá knatámī (ten nations)
 * khû́l knatámī (a/one hundred nations)

Ordinal
Ordinal numbers expresses the relative position of an item in an ordered sequence. They are used adjectives and decline accordingly. All are type III adjectives with the exception of hundredth, which is type I.

In Kihā́mmic Latin ordinals are abbreviated by following the number with the case ending in super-script, however the pluralisation infix is ignored:
 * Nominative singular: Lố 1ô yégan (The first king)
 * Nominative plural: Lámô 1ô yeganám (The first kings)
 * Accusative singular: Lôá 1ôá yeganá
 * Genitive singular: Lī́ 1ī yéganī
 * Ablative singular: Lá 1á yeganá
 * Allative singular: Lố 1ô yéganô
 * Instrumental singular: Lû́ 1û yéganû
 * Prepositional singular: Lé 1e yégane
 * Terminative singular: Lə́ 1ə yéganə
 * Comparative singular: Lák 1ak yéganak

Adverbial
Adverbial numbers are used to show the repetition of a certain event or to expresses a countable number of times. Since they are (type III) adverbs they do not decline.

Multiplier
A multiplier number indicates the number of times something is to be multiplied. As with ordinal numbers, multiplier numbers are used adjectives and decline accordingly. They are all type II adjectives

Distributive
A distributive number is an adverb that answers "how many times each?" or "how many at a time?".

Fractional
Fractional numbers (such as a third, a quarter and a fifth) are formed simply by preceding the numerator as a cardinal number followed by the denominator as an ordinal number in the plural. For example "two fifths" translates as "dočá preikámamô". The only exception to this rule is "half" which is "gát".
