INTRODUCTION TO NUMBERS

Ragtaya na'Su'uslar

Traditional and Modern Golic Vulcan numbers come in five different types: Cardinal, Ordinal, Enumerating, Combining (Form) and Adjectival (Form). Each type is introduced in this grammar lesson. Later lessons will go more into depth on how these types are used grammatically.

CARDINAL NUMBERS

In Golic Vulcan, a Cardinal Number is used for counting (one, two, three, etc.) and when you use it like a noun (for example, "I am one of many", etc.).

ORDINAL NUMBERS

In Golic Vulcan, Ordinal Numbers are used in almost the identical way as their counterparts in FSE. (Like an a true adjective, Ordinal Numbers have a stand-alone form and a combining form.) A following lesson covers use of this form in sentences.

ENUMERATING NUMBERS

In Golic Vulcan, a form different from the Cardinal Numbers is used when counting how many of an item there is, for example, "there is one ball" and "Surak sees two possibilities". The Enumerating Number is also used when answering a question where a specific quantity is the response or when filling out a form that needs a numerical response filled in. Some Enumerating Numbers are the same as their corresponding Cardinal Numbers, especially the higher numbers.

COMBINING (FORM) NUMBERS

In Golic Vulcan, as you will learn more fully in following lessons, when numbers are used as a combining adjective or as a modifying prefix, they are directly affixed to a word if the word is a solitary or basic word ("psthan", "skladan", "tchorka", etc.) or a binary word ("esh-tukh", "tal-muv", "yeht-gav", etc.) AND the Combining Form is a single affix. Corresponding examples of these forms in FSE would be "mono-", "uni-, "single-", "two-", "bi-", "di-", "double-", "tri-", "triple-", etc.

Table of Combining Form Numbers

Important Note: Combining Form Numbers must follow the word formation rules that dictate you cannot have more than three roots in a single word. For example, you cannot have >leh-wuh-tal-muv leh-dah-os-khaf-mev<. Therefore, only the numbers one through ten, one hundred, one thousand, one million, one billion, etc., are used regularly in Combining Form in proper Golic grammar. (The next form covers all other grammatical uses of adjectival or modifying numbers.)

ADJECTIVAL (FORM) NUMBERS

The Adjectival Form numbers are used exactly the same as a true adjective. Refer to later lessons which show how adjectives are used. Remember not to confuse them with the Ordinal Numbers.
