This post focuses a little more on the numbers. Forms had to be updated
from the last post since there have been new additions to the sound
changes. Following Christophe's model somewhat (thanks for the inspiration
:)).

Cardinals:

1. uno /uno/                            100. çènto /tsEnto/

3. tres /tres/                  300. treçèntos /tretsEntos/
4. cuatro /kwatro/                      400. cuatroçèntos /kwatrotsEntos/

Ordinals

The ordinals are formed similarly to Spanish. 11th -12th were regularized
with 13th -19th.

1st - primairo /primajro/               11th - deçimoprimairo /Detsimoprimajro/
2nd - segundo /segunDo/ 12th - deçimosegundo /DetsimosegunDo/
3rd - terçairo /tertsajro/              13th - deçimoterçairo /Detsimotertsairo/
4th - cuarto /kwarto/           14th - deçimocuarto /Detsimokwarto/
5th - quinto /kinto/                    15th - deçimoquinto /Detsimokinto/
6th - seixto /sejSto/           16th - deçimoseixto /DetsimosejSto/
7th - séptimo /septimo/         17th - deçimoseptimo /Detsimoseptimo/
8th - octauo /octauwo/          18th - deçimoctauo /Detsimoctauwo/
9th - noueno /noweno/           19th - deçimonoueno /Detsimonoweno/
10th - déçimo /detsimo/         20th - vigésimo /BiZesimo/

30th - trigesimo /triZesimo/
40th - cuadragésimo /kwadraZesimo/
50th - quiñcuagésimo /kiNkwaZesimo/
60th - seixagésimo /sejSaZesimo/
70th - septuagésimo /septwaZesimo/
80th - octogésimo /octoZesimo/
90th - nonagésimo /nonaZesimo/
100th - çentésimo /tsentesimo/


After 10th, usually a cardinal with a definite article is used instead of
the longer traditional ordinals: 40th: cuadragesimo / Le cuaraént.  In
formal writing, the traditional ordinal is always used. For the adjectival
forms, -ment is added:

secondly - segundament
thirdly - terçairament


Fractions:

Fractions are formed by the numerator + entre + denominator always:

1/2 = uno entre dos
5/36ths = çiñque entre treintaiseix

Simple math.

Addition: pora sumal

1+2 = 3 - uno mais dos iguau tres

Subtraction: pora restal

1-2 = 1 - uno menos dos iguau uno

Multiplication: pora mutiplical

1*4 = 4 - uno pol cuatro iguau cuatro

Division: pora diuiíl

4/2 = 2 - cuatro diuiío pol dos iguau dos


Adjectives in -ario

primary - primario
secondary -secundario
tertiary - terçiario

in -au /aw/

decimal - deçimau
octal - octau


I hope the formatting doesnt get messed up.
