+- all other numbers
+    - formed by sticking the numbers together according to the decimal system with the numbers from 2 to 9 as factors
+    - for example 8192: __akttusend-(en)hundred-ninten-tve__
+- for the numbers 11-19 this system differs from most systems used in the Germanic languages, which makes it a little bit harder to comprehend for Germanic speakers without ever having seen it, but it also widens the distance between the names of the number-pairs "10+x/10·x" (13/30, 14/40, …), which is ofter quite small in the systems of the Germanic languages; e.g. the English words //fourteen// and //fourty// are quite susceptical to get confused

+#### Proposal 3
-== Proposal 1 ==
-  * the names of the summands come in descending order of significance almost identical to the rule for number formation in english with the difference that english sometimes uses //and// before the name of the last digit whereas folksprak uses no extra words

+### Ordinals
+The "backbone" of the ordinal suffix will be __T__ and/or __D__, and the options are, in terms of T: __-te__ (Danish, Dutch, German, Norwegian); __-ta__ (Icelandic, Swedish); __-t__ (English); and __-ti__ (Icelandic). The other question is whether ordinal numbers will have the singular/plural distinction or be invariant (like genitives). Also, one can see that morphologically, there's a similarity between ordinals and preterites, but happily there is no danger of conflict because numbers don't act as verbs.
