U5 NOTES

Ordinal numerals – the last two numbers are made up by substracting from the bigger number:

e.g. 28= duodetriginta (two away from 30)

29= undetriginta (one taken away from 30)

We never substract from 100!

98= nonaginta octo

99= nonaginta novem

Hundreds 200-900 are declined line declensions1+2 in plural: ducenti, ducentae, docenta = 200

Cardinal numerals are declined like decl. 1+2 primus, prima, primum

Multiple numerals are declined like the 3rd declension, they behave like one form adjectives:

Simplex+M,F,N, genitive = simplicis

Numeral adverbs are not declined!

Distributive numerals are declined like declensions 1+2  - we have to respect the gender of the
object:

Singuli pulveres = by one powder,  singulae guttae= by one drop, singula unguenta= by one ointment


10=decem grammata unguenti

30= triginta tabulettae molles

29= undetriginta iniectiones intravenosae

21= viginti una guttae solutionis

100= centum glyceroli suppositoria/suppositoria glyceroli

1000= mille millilitra aquae destillatae
