Re: COUNTING IN YOUR CONSTRUCTED LANGUAGES, CONSTRUCTED DIAL
Why count from one to ten?
In Early Middle Laqar, one counts with the following roots:
"one": sòx
"two": ką
"three": te
"four": li
"five": paġ
"ten": zo
"twenty": są
"hundred": mak'
"thousand": neguh
They are added by placing "and" ə between them, and multiplied by placing the multiplier after the number multiplied. Small numbers are placed before larger numbers.
For instance, "fifty seven" is ką ə paġ ə zo ə są ką, literally "two and five and ten and two twenties". As you can see, nouns, which include cardinal numbers, do not inflect for number when multiplied by a cardinal number (which it is in apposition with).
