Conlanging the Opal Mask - Numbers from 1 to 5 - Lexember Post 4

Well numbers are words and they are most certainly commonplace.
  1. an
  2. ba
  3. zeg
  4. mot
  5. ved
When counting without naming the thing being counted numbers take its noun class. eg: If you were counting sheep it would be anpʰak, bapʰak, zegpʰak etc. If the thing is named then the number is treated as an adjective (and I'm not sure how I'm handling adjectives yet - I'll decide this weekend).

Hope this all makes sense.
