Numbers 1-20
| Number | Cardinal | Ordinal | Number | Cardinal | Ordinal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | æn | ænst | 11 | elven | elvest |
| 2 | dwa | dwast | 12 | dwelf | dwelfst |
| 3 | dri | drist | 13 | drizän | drizänst |
| 4 | qetre | qetrest | 14 | qetzän | qetzänst |
| 5 | qinte | qintest | 15 | qinzän | qinzänst |
| 6 | såx | såxest | 16 | såxzän | såxzänst |

| 8 | acta | actest | 18 | actzän | actzänst |
| 9 | nuve | nuvest | 19 | nuzän | nuzänst |
| 10 | deca | decst | 20 | dwarenty | dwarentyst |
Numbers 21-99
All numbers from 21 to 99 are formed by simply hyphenating the numbers 20, 30, etc. with the numbers one through nine: dwarenty-æn, dwarenty-dwa "21, 22", etc.
The ordinals are formed using the ordinal of the units portion, if there is one. The ordinals of the decades themselves are all in -st.
| Number | Cardinal | Ordinal | Number | Cardinal | Ordinal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | dwarenty | dwarentyst | 60 | såxenty | såxentyst |
| 30 | drienty | drientyst | 70 | sibenty | sibentyst |
| 40 | qetrenty | qetrentyst | 80 | actenty | actentyst |
| 50 | qintenty | qintentyst | 90 | nuventy | nuventyst |
Zero
The number zero is nulla, ordinal nullest.
Larger numbers
Larger numbers compound as in English: dwa chenta dwelf mille acta chenta sibenty-qinte "212,875".
| Number | Cardinal | Ordinal |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | chenta | chentest |
| 1000 | mille | millest |
| 1,000,000 | million | millionst |
All numbers beyond million are spelled as in English. Triparic uses short scale; that is, a billion is 1000 million, a trillion is 1000 billion, etc.
Multiplicatives
The multiplicative forms "double", "triple", etc. are formed by adding the suffix -feld, like English "threefold", etc.: qetrefeld "quadruple, fourfold".
