| Answering to, Fìry? How many? | Answering to, Fàha-fìry? Which (in order)? | Answering to, Ampahafì-riny? What part (of it)? | Answering to, Impìry? How often? | Answering to, Fàrimpìriny? What time of doing it? | |||||||
| 1 | ìsa, irày, iraìka | fàhiraìka, &c. | vòalòhany, &c. | ... | ... | ... | indrày | ... | ... | ||
| 2 | ròa | Vòalòhany (from lòha, 'head') is the usual word for 'first'. The remainder of the Ordinals are merely the Cardinals with fàha- prefixed to them, as in the case of fàhiraìka. |
àmpaharòany | indròa | fànindròa. | ||||||
| 3 | tèlo | àmpahatèlony | intèlo | fànintelo. | |||||||
| 4 | èfatra | àmpahèfany | inèfatra | &c. | &c. | ||||||
| 5 | dìmy | àmpahadìminy, &c. | indìmy | These are made by prefixing fàn- to the Multiplicatives, and are seldom used in the higher numbers. They are treated as nouns, take the suffix pronoun -ny (in which respect they resemble the Fractionals), and may be followed by a possessive case. | |||||||
| 6 | ènina | The Fractionals are made from the Cardinals by prefixing àmpaha-, and then affixing -ny. Or from the Ordinals by prefixing am-, changing f into p, and then affixing -ny. They are generally followed by a suffixed pronoun or a possessive case: and the numerator of a fraction is expressed, as in English, by a Cardinal; as, ròa àmpahatèlony, 'two-thirds of it'. |
