Multiplicative numerals are sometimes formed by adding to the car- 

 dinals the modal suffix -Itc (see § 94).

 a'lqaHcin L/xu'yun qiia once I knew it 92.12 



Ordinal numerals in the sense of at the first, second, etc. , are 

 sometimes formed by suflixing to the cardinals the suffix -atu. 



alqa''tu tsxayu'^^ on the first day, in one day 

 xdtsluwaf'tu tsxayvf'^^ on the second day, in two days 

 xdtsIuna'Hu tsxayu'^^ on the fourth day, in four days 



The suffix for the numeral five appears in a somewhat changed 

 form. Instead of the expected -atu^ this numeral takes the suffixes 

 -tatu, -tyatu. The suggestion may be offered that the inital t- of 

 these suffixes is the adjectival suffix -t (see § 104), and the -atu the 

 regular modal suffix. Of course, this does not explain the occurrence 

 of the semi- vowel y in -tyatu.

 Two stems, TcT^x and Tiai'mut, are used as definite numerals. The 

 former is best rendered by each, every; while the latter, to all 

 appearances an adjective in -t (see § 104), is best translated by all.

§117. Tlie Decitnal System 



The units exceeding multiples of ten are expressed by forms whose 

 exact rendering would be ten (twenty) and one (two) as, for instance, 

 Icl'x^s H a'V^q TEN AND ONE, etc. The ' ' tens " are formed by means of
