Wymysorys numbering rules

Now that you’ve had a gist of the most useful numbers, let’s move to the writing rules for the tens, the compound numbers, and why not the hundreds, the thousands and beyond (if possible).

  • Digits from one to nine are rendered by specific names: ȧs [1], cwa [2], drȧj [3], fiyr [4], fynf (or fymf) [5], zȧhs [6], zejwa [7], aht [8], and noün [9].
  • Tens are formed starting with the multiplier digit root, suffixed with cik, except for ten: can [10], cwencik [20], dresik [30], fjycik [40], funfcik (or fumfcik) [50], zȧhcik [60], zymfcik [70], ahcik [80], and niöencik [90].
  • Numbers from eleven to nineteen are formed starting with the unit root, suffixed with ca, except for eleven, twelve and sixteen: ȧlf [11], cwełf [12], dreca [13], fjyca [14], funfca [15], ȧncwencikca [16], zymfca (or zynfca) [17], ahca [18], and niöenca [19].
  • Compound numbers above twenty are formed starting with the unit, then the conjunction ȧn (and), and the ten with no space (e.g.: fynfȧncwencik [25], zȧhsȧndresik [36]). When compound, ȧs [1] becomes ȧn (e.g.: ȧnȧnzymfcik [71]), cwa [2] becomes cwej (e.g.: cwejȧnzymfcik [72]), as one and two are inflected, and fiyr [4] becomes fjyr (e.g.: fjyrȧnzymfcik [74]).
  • Hundreds are formed directly prefixing the word for hundred (hundyt) by the multiplier digit with no space, except for one hundred: hundyt [100], cwehundyt [200], drȧjhundyt [300], fiyrhundyt [400], fynfhundyt [500], zȧhshundyt [600], zejwahundyt [700], ahthundyt [800], and noünhundyt [900].
  • The word for thousand is toüzyt and the word for million, milon.
