===Numbers 1-12===
All Lahob languages have a duodecimal numeral system. Here are the numbers from 1 to 12 (10<sub>12</sub>) in some of them. Note that there is no common word for "zero" (most of them use the word for "nothing"; Chlouvānem has the Ancient Kūṣṛmāṭhi borrowing ''ajrā''). Also note that the word for six in Chlouvānem is a borrowing of unknown origin; there's no cognate left for *weɬen.
All Lahob languages have a duodecimal numeral system. Here are the numbers from 1 to 12 (10<sub>12</sub>) in some of them. Note that there is no common word for "zero" (most of them use the word for "nothing"; Chlouvānem has the Lällshag borrowing ''ajrā''). The Proto-Lahob numerals for three and six are based on finger counting, being the word for "finger" and its dual form (some languages have innovated a newer word for finger with a later derivation, cf. Chl. ''pamuvis'', Yeł. Lawo ''kpim̃í''); Kenaywanic and Tłašnelek also have the root *den, "phalanx", for one – which is reflected in all languages' word for Ɛ, *wewʕe-den, or "one phalanx more [to twelve]".<br/>Some languages, notably Nayzehenyn ones, have three as a sub-base, and their word for twelve is "four fingers" or "four times three".
