The basic numbers 1-9 may take a numberforming element to form a
higher number such as wa'vatlh ("one hundred") or cha'vatlh
wejmaH loS ("two hundred thirty four"). When a number is used to modify
a noun that noun does not have to take a plural suffix (it is never
mandatory, and plurality in clearly indicated anyway). Numbers preceeding a
noun it is used for counting (e.g. cha' Duj ["two vessels"]),
numbers following is used for numbering (e.g. Duj cha' ["vessel
number two"]). Numbers may also stand alone and serve as nouns in their own
right (e.g wa' yIHoH ["Kill one (of them)!"]). [TKD

| Number Suffixes |
| DIch | ordinal (follows the noun) | i.e. "first", "second", "third" etc. |
| logh | repetitions (becomes adverb) | i.e. "once", "twice", "three times" etc. |
When DIch is used it always follows the noun in modifies (e.g.
Duj cha'DIch ["second vessel"]). logh turns the number into
an adverb that is placed in front of the entire object-verb-subject
construction (e.g wa'logh qalegh ["I saw you once."]), or be placed
between the object and the verb if the object noun is topicalized with
'e'. (ghaH'e' cha'logh Dabachpu' ["You shot him
twice."]). [TKD pp.54-55,179-180]
