Allamej numbers are mostly based on Semitic roots due to the large use of arabic numbers. 

Allamej numbers have the ten main roots based on Semitic languages with few modifications. The numbers resemble those of Arabic, Hebrew, Aramaic, and Amharic, as in the sequence presented  below. The numerical representation is the same as Indic or Arabic numbers.

​

• 0: ux – a priori.  

• 1: hed /hed/ - /’and/, /waħad/ and /axat/;

• 2: den /den/ - /hullet/, /iθnajn/ and /ʃta’im/;

• 3: xal /ʃal/ - /sost/, /θalaθa/ and /ʃaloʃ/;

• 4: rëb /rɛb/ - /arat/, /arbaʕa/ and /arba/;

• 5: cam /xam/ -  /aməst/, /xamsa/ and /xameʃ/;

• 6: zex /zeʃ/ - /sədəst/, /sitta/ and /ʃeʃ/;

• 7: sab /sab/ - /sebat/,/sabʔa/ and /ʃeva/;

• 8: tam /tam/ - /səmənt/, /θamanja/ and /ʃmone/; and

• 9: nis /nis/ -  /zeteni/, /tísʕa/ e /teʃa/.

​

The multiple of ten are made by attaching the suffix -eyn right after the number. So twenty is den + eyn, thus deneyn. This suffix is a priori. For the other decimals stems from other origins we add:

​

• Miy: hundred (Semitic).

• Kil: thousand (Greek).

• Mil: million (Latin).

• Bil: billion (Latin).

• Twil: trillion (Latin).

​

When numbers precede nouns, they end in ü. Examples:

• Hedü in: a person, in this case may also represent the indefinite article.

• Denkilcammiyrëbeynxalü bayt / baytuy: Two thousand five hundred and forty-three houses.

​

The ordinals are made by adding the locative stem followed by the adjective end -ënü or, as in the Semitic languages, juxtaposing the number just after the noun in order to form a single word.

This occurs with months, days, hours and minutes.

​

• Sabënü yom / Yomsab: seventh day or Saturday.

• Xalënü xar / Xarxal: third month or March.
