In Piata numbers are verbs, which are not marked for number so I don't (can't) have such irregularities either. I played around with agglutinating --> inflectional when I created Cein, which is somewhat inflecting. A lot more inflecting than its mother Quenya in any case. Applying lots of (and I mean *massive*) sound changes to a language seems the best way to create irregularity. And it's great fun too! Daniel Andreasson
