 The same observations made with the indefinite forms about uses apply here (and in all other forms): Tulfasyzdor, most of Gorjanor, and SE Karynaktjor do not distinguish 2Sm and 2Sf; Askandor does not use 2P forms.<br/>
 The 1S object affix is ''va-'', but assumes the form ''v-'' before single consonants (apart ''v'' itself); in many dialects, including Skyrdegan Skyrdagor, it is often pronounced as [u] before voiceless consonants, e.g. ''vkogjol'' [uˈkɔʝɔl] (Skyrdegan), [uˈkɔdʒoː] (Karynaktjor) "you see me". ''avkog'' is the reflexive.
+===Numerals===
+Skyrdagor numerals are decimal and fairly regularly formed, but their complexity lies in having different forms for counting people, non-people, and general numbers. Another complexity is the orthography, as the numbers are written fully but pronunciation has often considerably modified them.

+These are the basic digits used: numbers inside tens are formed by using one of these followed by ''el'' (over) and the combining form of the multiple of ten (replace ''-id'' with ''-a''). For example, if "two", "two apples", "two women" are ''skeg'', ''skejsa vzsok'', and ''ylvop lezsa'' respectively, "twelve", "twelve apples", "twelve women" are ''skeg el ska'', ''skejsa vzsok el ska'', and ''ylvop lezsa el ska''. All of these forms, however, are very varying in pronunciation:

+Numbers above 100 are simply made by using the 1-99 one followed by ''zy prog'' (and hundred [zɯˈprɔ]). The hundreds are simply ''prog skeg'', ''prog thus'', ''prog thlegdhen'' and so on. Similarly, 1000 is ''melbryk'' [mɛlbrɯk], 1001 is ''yszp zy melbryk'', 2000 is ''melbryk skeg'' etc.
+As an example, 2743 translates as ''thus el thlegska zy prog noth zy melbryk skeg'', pronounced [ˈθuʃəlθlɛʃkə zɯprɔˈnɔθ zɯˈmɛlbrɯˌɧa]. "2743 women" is ''thusnydh lezsa el thlegska zy prog noth zy melbryk skeg'' [θuʃnɯ(ð) ˈlɛʒa‿lˈθlɛʃkə zɯprɔˈnɔθ zɯˈmɛlbrɯˌɧa].
