Kũva'jam/jadév'na/sas'sas/dviũi'na'pijé'dviũi (and more)- 12

With the word "ini" (multiply) you're able to address 20 as kũva'ini'dviũi or maybe jadév'ini'dviũi'dviũi (9x2+2)

I just got bored and wanted to think outside of the box. I find this extremely confusing and unnecessary myself so I'm not sure whatever to use this system or not.

CARDINAL NUMERALS

In Kuerhyét there are three sets of low level cardinal numbers; General, Diminutive and Human.

#

2

10

kuku


Human numerals
Min, äte, sie, tie.

The human numerals, as the name implies, are used when talking about human referents, except when talking about babies or if you want to emphasise that someone is really small (which obviously is not a very polite thing to do), when you need to use the diminutive numerals. There are only four human numerals. Everything above four uses general numerals.

Sie nyca - three women
Nie causa - three birds
Äte kihima - Two men
Äpie kihima - seven men
Peni duilín - two babies

Diminutive numerals
Veni, peni, neni, teni, mani, ämi, äpi, isi, käki, kuku.

Diminutive numerals are used when talking about small things; for instance pebbles, mice, strands of hair, units of time less than a day (minutes, seconds, hours) as well as babies as mentioned above. It is also used as a means to emphasise that something is smaller than its usual size, like for instance:
Kukuendie tacie neni duolie innu - I'll have three small beers please.
Kukuendie tacie nie duolie innu - I'll have three beers please.

It is also quite common to use diminutive numerals when counting without a reference, and children usually learn first to count in diminutive as it is considered easier.

General numerals
Vue, poa, nie, ätae, manae, ämie, äpie, isie, kaiku, kukie .

General numerals is the "all else" counting set, and is used for talking about everything not covered by human or diminutive, as well as the most common way to count without a reference.

Numerals above ten.
There is only one numeral set employed above ten, which corresponds to the general set. The highest order comes first with lower orders in decreasing order. Additives are bound with -ti-.

10 - 19:
11 - kuk-ti-yue
12 - kuk-ti-poa
13 - kuk-ti-nie
14 - kuk-ti-ätae
15 - kuk-ti-manae
16 - kuk-ti-ämie
17 - kuk-ti-äpie
18 - kuk-ti-isie
19 - kuk-ti-kaiku

Multiplies is a reduced form of the diminutive numeral, which preceed the order.

Orders of ten:
20 - penkukie
30 - nenkukie
40 - tenkukie
50 - mankukie
60 - ämkukie
70 - äpkukie
80 - iskukie
90 - käkukie

With additives, the -kukie (10) form is reduced to kuk:
76 - äpkuk-ti-ämie
.

Hundreds, thousands and above
Construction of higher numbers work in the exact same way, with new terms every order of hundred instead of every thousand as is common in modern european languages:
100 - mieyo
103 - miey-ti-nie
906 - kämiey-ti-ämie
1 000 - kukmieyo (ten hundred)
1 001 - kukmiey-ti-vue
5 000 - mankukmieyo
9 999 - käkuk-ti-kämiey-ti-käkuk-ti-kaiku
10 000 - miapa
1 000 000 - kimaya (one million)
100 000 000 - pinaya
10 000 000 000 - nimaya



ORDINAL NUMERALS
Ordinal numerals are created with the circumfix ma(n/m)- -m on the general numeral with a special form on 1st:
1st - meam
2nd - mapoam
3d -maniem
4th - manätaem
5th - mamanaem
6th - manämiem
7th - manäpiem
8th - manisiem
9th - makaikum
10th - makukiem
999th - makämiey-ti-käkuk-ti-kaiukum



FRACTIONAL NUMERALS
The circumfix in(/m)- -ni creates fractional numerals:
innieni - (one) third
impoani - (one) half
äpie inkukieni - seven tenths
nie immieyoni - three hundreths (3 %)



DISTRIBUTIVE NUMERALS
The circumfix in(/m)- -s creates distributive numerals:
Tuo jiemem inisis kura! - we get eight nuts each!
Read factbook

The numeral system of Inna is decimal, with the ordinal numbers being the basic forms from which cardinal, distributive and fractional numbers are derived. (This concept was inspired by one of Aurunas ancestral languages. Was it Aruzhin?)
When counting (with or without referent) the cardinal numbers are also used.

Ordinal numbers:
1st - alə
2nd - ətti
3rd - neni
4th - manəs
5th - mana
6th - əδen
7th - punu
8th - iδu
9th - kəkəs
10th - kəku

Cardinal numbers, with the exception of 1 are derived by suffixing -mə up to and including 4, and -(n)i for numbers above 4:
1 - ma
2 - əttimə
3 - nenimə
4 - manəsmə
5 - manani
6 - əδeni
7 - pununi
8 - iδuni
9 - kəkəsi
10 - kəkuni

Five - T˙szhimi

Eight - Maruoniri
Nine - Küroonimi
Ten - N˙lki

The alternation of -ri and -ni/-mi is to determine the light kuipiri and dark kiitenimi (short: kiinimi) numbers, aka even and odd. Dates back to the older Aruz (or Proto-Aruzhin) number system where (except for zero), all numbers are named after light and dark, alternating and are derived from the Aruz ordinal numbers.

Aruz / Old Aruz / Proto-Aruzhin
Zero - Nel / Nöulä (there are many variants)
One - Tiinonimi (lit. first of dark)
Two - Tiinoniri (lit. first of light)
Three - Köikonimi (lit. second of dark)
Four - Köikoniri (lit. second of light)
Five - Kuulonimi (lit. third of dark)
Six - Kuuloniri (lit. third of light)
Seven - Naalonimi (lit. fourth of dark)
Eight - Naaloniri (lit. fourth of light)
Nine - Vaikonimi (lit. fifth of dark)
Ten - Vaikoniri (lit. fifth of light)

Random number in Aruz:
217 518 - Tiinoniri'kontiinoniminvaikoniriviinaalonimi'to'kuulonimi'kontiinoniminvaikoniriviinaaloniri

Random fact:
Aurun has a trace of Aruzhin in the form of -des which is a shortened form of the suffix -desiri which came from the Aruzhin word for ordinal, kiidesiri which came from the Aruz word for number, kuidesiriini.

And then Aurun has a word for ordinal that is derived from the Aruzhin kiidesiri which is kiitesi.

Thanks!

About 300-900 years separate the two with Aruzhin being right in between.

And this gave me an idea of making a family tree of my conlangs (and probably of the CCL based on the language family post) whenever I'm bored.

Allright! 300 years seems a tad little from what I've seen, but approaching 900 sounds reasonable.

..Although IIRC it's not a direct line of descent type of situation going on, so maybe 300's not too far fetched. Cool stuff any way. :)

That would be neat! :D

This reminds me that I should some time make an effort at making at least the outlines of a proto-language system for the Kuerhyét-Inna family.. I'm thinking now that ideally it should be a linkage system with a couple of dead members; though that's going to be a hell of a lot of work.. XO

Is this a priori or is it based on any real world language families? It reminds me somehow about Paleosiberian, but that may just be the whole Cyrillic-but-obviously-not-Slavic orthography choice.. XD

It seems to have a larger vowel inventory than what is common in Paleosiberian languages any way. The number four - ны - seems intriguingly Finno-Ugric, though none of the other numbers as far as I can tell.. нян seems to be an IE-loan, though not from Slavic (at least not Russian).. huh!
Interesting stuff! I'd like to learn more! :D

It's a Nivkh language. Grammatically closer to Amur (simply because Amur is the only one with any amount of thorough grammatical information in records) but lexically derived directly from Proto-Nivkh, with extensive Proto-Tungusic borrowings to fill in the gaps in reconstruction. All the numbers before 1,000 are directly descended from Proto-Nivkh (with Amur formation patterns) and any hypotheses about whether they were originally loaned into Proto-Nivkh would be purely speculative, but it's incredibly unlikely that they would be loaned from any Indo-European language due to the disparity in location, so the resemblance of нян to "nine" is almost certainly coincidental. Тысесь for "thousand" is indeed loaned from Russian тысяч, as well as the unlisted милион and милиард (though these are not Russian native words, only borrowed via Russian).

Grammatically closer to Amur (simply because Amur is the only one with any amount of thorough grammatical information in records) but lexically derived directly from Proto-Nivkh, with extensive Proto-Tungusic borrowings to fill in the gaps in reconstruction. All the numbers before 1,000 are directly descended from Proto-Nivkh (with Amur formation patterns) and any hypotheses about whether they were originally loaned into Proto-Nivkh would be purely speculative, but it's incredibly unlikely that they would be loaned from any Indo-European language due to the disparity in location, so the resemblance of нян to "nine" is almost certainly coincidental. Тысесь for "thousand" is indeed loaned from Russian тысяч, as well as the unlisted милион and милиард (though these are not Russian native words, only borrowed via Russian).

Ah, so my Paleosiberian guess was actually spot on! Cool concept! :)
