The first ten numbers are:
Dze -Zero
Un -One
Du -Two
Te -Three
Ka -Four
Či -Five
Si -Six
Se -Seven
Ut -Eight
No -Nine

To write numbers over nine (tens,hundreds,thousands...) there have to be indicators and units.
Units are:
De for tens
Če for hundreds
Me for thousands

The Indicators are the 10 main digits said before,with the exception of zero.

Every digit in a number over 9 has its own name depending on its value and position.

The name of the whole number is formed by first the unit and then the indicator.
Let's take as an example the number 91.
Units' names are always the same as their digit, so 1 in the number 91 is "Un".
Since 9 is the unit for a ten,it's called "No"+"De",so Node.
The whole name of numbers is without spaces,so 91 would be written as Nodeun.

If one of the digits is zero,then both the unit and indicator won't be in the word.
Example:902 is not Nocedzededu but it is instead nocedu.

If the number 8 is a unit for a higher indicator than 1 (so like 10,100,1000...) then it loses the "t" and becomes simply "U"

If one is the unit for the indicator 1000,it would be written like unme,but it's instead a double "m͡n",so it becomes um͡nm͡ne

The word stress is always on the last unit of the number.(Never on the indicators) with one exception:
If the word is made of only 2 digits then the word stress is on the first unit of that number

Number examples:
1492 um͡nm͡nekacenodedù
2026 Dumedudesì
702 Secedù
87 Ùdese
10 Ùnde
1000 Ùm͡nm͡ne
9999 Nomenocenodenò
