Grammar of Counting
- Adaptation of the Number to the Counted Noun
- Numbers are unchangeable.
- Adaptation of the Counted Noun to the Number
- All numbers are followed by the noun in nominative singular when counting inanimate objects (when counting persons, numbers 2 and higher are followed by the noun in genitive plural). Irregular counting exists where numbers 3 and higher are followed by the noun in nominative plural, including the monetary units "pingin" and "scilling" (the latter also comes with regular counting).
- Comments on the Grammar
- Flexion is done by suffixes.
The numbers ½, 2-6 trigger lenition (aspiration of the word-initials b, c, g, f, g, m, p, s, t) for counted nouns in singular.
The numbers 7-10 trigger eclipsis (vocalization of the word-initials b, c, d, f, g, p, t) for counted nouns in both singular and plural.
