While following a nonal numeral system, Grayis numbers also have an inner ternary numeral system we can see through the digits etymology. The digits from one to eight are: rī [1], ai [2], chil [3], chirri [4] (3+1), kilai [5] (3+2), aichī [6] (2*3), chalayī [7] (4*2-1), and nauri [8] (9-1).

The tens are formed by setting a form of the multiplier digit before the number nine (which is ten in base nine), except for nine itself: nā [10₉/9₁₀], ayinnā [20₉/18₁₀], chillīkka [30₉/27₁₀], chirrinnā [40₉/36₁₀], kilinnā [50₉/45₁₀], aichinnā [60₉/54₁₀], chalainā [70₉/63₁₀], and naurinnā [80₉/72₁₀].

The nonal numbers from 11₉ to 18₉ are formed starting with the word for the nonal ten (nā) with no diacritic, directly followed by the unit with no space: narī [11₉/10₁₀], nanai [12₉/11₁₀], nachil [13₉/12₁₀], nachirri [14₉/13₁₀], nakilai [15₉/14₁₀], nalaichī [16₉/15₁₀], nachalayī [17₉/16₁₀], and nanāli [18₉/17₁₀].

Compound numbers are formed starting with the ten, then the conjunction ha (and), and the unit (e.g.: ayinnā ha chil [23₉/21₁₀], chalainā ha kilai [75₉/68₁₀])

The nonal hundred is duhkā [100₉/81₁₀].

Higher scale numbers are: kaigu [nonal thousand, (10₉)³/729₁₀ or (81₁₀)³], nakaigu [nonal ten thousand, 10,000₉/6,561₁₀ or (3₁₀)⁸], duhkakkaigu [nonal hundred thousand, 100,000₉/59,049₁₀ or (3₁₀)¹⁰], īlim [nonal million, (10₉)⁶/531,441₁₀ or (81₁₀)⁶], jumai [nonal billion, (10₉)⁹/387,420,489₁₀ or (81₁₀)⁹].
