At the beginning of a compound ति may become a e. g. सिविह of three kinds', तेइंदिय ‘having three sense-organs'.

In compounds 77 becomes a before words beginning with a vowel,e.g. चारदिय ‘having four sense-organs'. But if the word begins with a consonant, the latter is doubled e. g. Eftere 'of four kinds', चउप्पय 'quadruped'.
x No regard is paid to the gender of दो, ति and चउ. The same form may be used for all genders, thus we find तिथिण पुरिसा 'three men' तो वणाई 'three forests'.Other numerals have a single form to represent all the genders.
