Ordinal Numbers
To make the number an ordinal number (adjective), we usually add the suffix -eð to the end of the number. Howver, there are some exceptions.
1. fyrost
2. dayþ (feminine form: twahþ)
3. þyrd
4. powrþ
10. tenþ
11. elfenþ
12. dowzenþ
How Many and Regularity
To denote how often something happens or how many there are, we can write the following in English
1. once / one time(s), 2. twice / two times, 3. thrice / three times, 4. four times, etc.
Similarly, in Wessisc, we can say the following:
1. ans, 2. dags, 3. þrags, 4. powr-tid, and so forth.
Fractions
Fractions are created thus - we take the ordinal number, and add -end to the end, making the noun created neuter. Again there are exceptions:
an Holf = a half
an Þyrd = a third
