TKD p54:
>>>
  Numbers are used as nouns. As such, they may stand alone
as subjects or objects or they may modify another noun.

    mulegh cha'  Two (of them) see me.
                  (mulegh  they see me, cha'  two)

    wa' yIHoH  Kill one (of them)!
                (wa'  one, yIHoH  kill him/her!)
<<<


netlh - ten thousand
SaD, SanID - thousand
