1 en 2 tver 3 trir 4 fyre 5 fimm 6 seks 7 sjø 8 åtta 9 nie 10 tie 11 ellive 12 tolv ... 20 tuttu (Ork.) No. 20 is only found iside Ork. Norn, therefore I would suggest *tjugu or *tjuo as the Nynorn "standard" (how much I hate this word), based on Far. tjúgu, Nor. tjue and Swed. tjugo. Also, when counting, the neutral forms of 1, 2 and 3 are found, for example, in Far. and Ice. too, so that ett, tvø and tru should be used in the very same way. Concerning tens 30 ~ 90, I suggest: 30 *triati 40 *før(u)ti 50 *fim(m)ti 60 *seksti 70 *sjøt(t)i 80 *ått(at)i 90 *nieti as well as *hundrað (100), *tusund (1000) and so on. To form the other numbers, we shouldn't stick to the main scandinavian (mainly danish-imposed) to write units in front of tens, then moving on the "purer" and easier opposite way, with or without the separator og: 21 *tjugu en 32 *triati tver 43 *føruti trir 54 *fimmti fyre 65 *seksti fimm 76 *sjøtti seks 87 *åttati sjø 98 *nieti åtta and so on... |

Post subject: | Re: Numerals |
These numerals are already done and you'll see them when the next 3 lessons are finally placed on the webpage. More or less it's the same as your guesses, one big difference is that there should be 'og' between tens and ones. I preferred to use 'tuttu' for 20 because it originates from Old Norse 'tuttugu' and because words from Orkney or Shetland have priority over words from Faroes or Norway. |
