.
  • Numbers from one to ten are specific words, namely vun [1] (feminine: vuna), duu [2] (feminine: ), trii [3] (feminine: tré), quatter [4], cinch [5], ses [6], sett [7], vott [8], noeuv [9], and des [10].
  • From eleven to sixteen, the number is formed from the root of the digit followed by ten: vundes [11], dodes [12], tredes [13], quattordes [14], quindes [15], and sedes [16]. From seventeen to nineteen, the order is reversed, as the unit is directly put after the ten: dersett [17] (with a consonant change here), desdott [18], and desnoeuv [19].
  • The tens have specific names based on the matching multiplier digit root except for ten and twenty: des [10], vint [20], trenta [30], quaranta [40], cinquanta [50], sessanta [60], settanta [70], vottanta [80], and novanta [90].
  • Compound numbers are formed by juxtaposing the ten and the unit, causing an apheresis of the first letter of the unit after twenty for one and eight (e.g.: vintun [21], vinttrii [23], vintott [28]) and for eight only for higher tens (e.g.: trentavun [31], quarantott [48]).
  • The hundreds are formed by removing the space between the multiplier and the word for hundred (cent), with some irregularities: cent [100], dusent [200], tresent [300], quattercent [400], cinchcent [500], ses’cent [600], settcent [700], vottcent [800], and noeuvcent [900].
  • Hundreds, tens and units are linked together with no space (e.g.: centnoeuv [109], dusenttrenta [230], noeuvcentnovantanoeuv [999]).
  • Thousands are formed by setting the multiplier digit, then a space and the word for thousand (mila), except for one thousand itself (note that thousand is feminine, hence its multipier is set in feminine gender): mila [1,000], dò mila [2,000], tré mila [3,000], quatter mila [4,000], cinch mila [5,000]…
  • Groups of three digits are linked with the coordinating conjunction e (and) (e.g.: mila e cent [1,100], on milion e dusenttrentaquatter mila e cinchcentsessantasett [1,234,567]).
  • One million is on milion, and one billion, on miliard.
