The numerals for ½,¾,1¼,1½,2½,1
to 10, 100, 1000, 100000 are basic primary numerals and then cardinal
numerals from 11 to 18 are formed alternant of 10 and similarly 21 to 28,
31 to 38, 41 to 48, 51 to 58, 61 to 68, 71 to 78, 81 to 88 and 91 to 98
are formed by adding 1 to 8 to decimals 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90
respectively. The structures of 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 are 2x10,
3x10, 4x10, 5x10, 6x10, 7x10, 8x10 and 9x10 respectively, but these are so
unique that they have been listed separately. The structures of
19,20,39,49,59,69,79,89 are 1 less 20, 1 less 30, 1 less 40, 1 less 50, 1
less 60, 1 less 70, 1 less 80, 1 less 90 respectively and the structure of
99 is 9+90. And {Unn-~
n-}
is used for the less by one. The list of alternates of the cardinals
numerals given below will make the structure of the cardinal numerals
clear.
