| == Number Construction == | | namespace=Main |
| | | titlematch=Valorik/% |
| Numbers in Valorik are built by compounding numerical roots with place value words, using the following order:
| | order=ascending |
| | | format=* [[%PAGE%]] |
| # [Tens root][‘ty’ suffix] → [Hundreds root][‘hundred’ suffix] → [Units root]
| | </dpl> |
| | | * |
| === Key Roots and Affixes ===
| |
| * 4 = d͡ʒonə
| |
| * ‘ty’ (×10) = koʊdə
| |
| * ‘hundred’ = sɑɪbə
| |
| | |

| === Construction Template ===
| |
| * [Tens root][‘ty’]([Hundreds root][‘hundred’])([Tens root][‘ty’])([Units root])
| |
| * Components are **concatenated** in decreasing order of magnitude, with no conjunctions.
| |
| | |
| === General Pattern ===
| |
| * [X][multiplier][Y][multiplier][Z]... | |
| * e.g., [tens][ty][hundreds][hundred][units]
| |
| | |
| *Examples:*
| |
| - 44 = [4][ty][4] = d͡ʒonəkoʊdəd͡ʒonə
| |
| - 4,004 = [4][ty][hundred][4] = d͡ʒonəkoʊdəsɑɪbəd͡ʒonə
| |
| - 4,444 = [4][ty][hundred][4][ty][4] = d͡ʒonəkoʊdəsɑɪbəd͡ʒonəkoʊdəd͡ʒonə

| *No ‘and’ or additional words are used; numbers are purely compounding.*
