Since they are "plain old regular nouns" as you say, why are the numbers
attached to them as prefixes.  Should not the numbers be separate words
preceding these nouns?

I deduce from this combination that these so-called "nouns" have changed their
identity and have become time words.  Time words act mighty like unto adverbs.
