Declension
duve dunni donni in 1-2, běhí in 3, duhũ in 5-6- 7; and perhaps dubs also in 3. The form donni is evidently on the analogy of tiņņi, but duhũ in 7 is certainly irregular.
(b) The numerals form 5 to 10, namely pamca cha satta ațţha nava daha, are regularly declined on this pattern.
61. The declensional forms of decades from 20 onwards. are not found. They are : visa 20, tisa 30, cattālisa 40, pannāsa. 50, saçțbi 60, sattari 70, assi 80 and navai 90.
62. When simple numerals are compounded with decades, there are some changes on both sides. For example, daha be.. comes -raha before bā- for 12, sattari becomes hattari before ba-for 72, and so on.
63. Among the higher units of numbers, the frequently used ones are : saya 100, sahassa 1000, lakkha 100000, etc.. Later only sahassa seems to be replaced by the Persian bazār. They have the regular forms in declension : saya vāra (hundred times), dukkha sayāl (hundreds of calamities), lakkhehi, etc.
64. The ordinal numbers are : pahilā from pra-thila for pra-tara 1st, bia duijja from dvidya for dvi-tiya 2nd, tra tijja. from tặ-dya for tr-tiya 3rd, cauttha 4th and chațțha 6th. Other ordinals are made by -ma : pamcama 5th, sattama 7th, etc.
