20 LADAKHI GRAMMAR. 
ang nyibgya vyibgya, 150 each ; pheddi pked plied, £ each ; gya dang nyislm 
nyishu, 120 each. 
The suffixes ka and ho :—Ua or fro, when added to a cardinal number, 
serves to express the conjunction ‘ together,’ see also Plural tlisangka . 
Examples : dagsa i hlui nangnas kangmig sumko tang in, now we shall 
sing from this song the three verses together; ngatang nyiska, we two 
together. 
Ordinals .—With the exception of dangpo, the first, the ordinals are 
simply formed by adding pa to the cardinals; thus sumpa, the third; 
nyishu tsag sumpa, the twenty-third. 
The Ladakhi makes also use of the termination ngola for the notation 
of the numbers of years, months and days. Examples : lo nyis ngola, in 
the second year; Iza sum ngola, in the third month. 
For the notation of years and days also a very peculiar system of 
numbering is used. The series runs as follows : 
diring, to-day, reckoned as first day; thore ( thoras ), to-morrow, or 
second day ; nangsla , day after to-morrow or third day ; zhesla, fourth 
day; rgusla , fifth day ; scusla, sixth day. 
diring, to-day, the first day; dang, yesterday, second day; kharsang 
zhag, day before yesterday, thud day; ngunma zhag, fourth day. 
dalo, this year, reckoned as first year ; nanning, last year, second year; 
shenning, year before last, third year; rguning, fourth year; scuning ? 
fifth year. 
dalo , this year, first year ; nangpar or nangmo, next year; sangpar, year 
after next. 
Note.— Icharsang zhag and ngunma zhag are also used indefinitely, but defi¬ 
nitely in enumeration. 
Adverbial Numerals .—Such as ‘ firstly,’ 4 secondly,’ can be expressed by 
the ordinals dangpo, nyispa, etc. Very often instead of them goma, at 
the beginning, and denas, then, are used. 4 Once,’ 4 twice,’ etc., are 
expressed by placing lan, thser, or lanthser before the cardinal. Thus 
lancig, once; thser sum, three times; lanthser scu, ten times. 
Also res, times (sometimes turn, it is his turn, etc.), may be men¬ 
tioned here. Example: darung gyabres sum dug, we shall shoot again 
three times (in turns). 
Fractional Numerals .—Only phed, half, seems to be in general use. 
With its help ‘ one-fourth ’ = pheddi phed has also been formed. In the 
school cha, part, placed after the cardinal is used: sumcha cig, one 
third ; sumcha nyis, two third parts.
