Digits and such expressions

Digit-strings are used in place of numerals. They inflect with colon, like acronyms, and compound with hyphen only.

Digits are constructed as several cyclic structures: integers, decimals or roman numerals. Zero alone works quite differently:

• Digit zero examples:*

• 0: 0+Num+Sg+Nom

• int digit loop examples:*
• 13: 13+Num+Card+Sg+Nom
• 100: 100+Num+Card+Sg+Nom
• 0000005550000000: 0000005550000000+Num+Card+Sg+Nom

**LEXICON ARABICLOOP_pirinen ** essentially allows any number-sign combination, but is like the other lgs

**LEXICON ARABICLOOP_pirinen ** is for entries not looping back

The digit strings that end in 10 to 12 + 6n 0’s are inflected alike:

• int digit milliard loop examples:*
• 1000000000: 1000000000+Num+Card+Sg+Nom
• 300000000000: 300000000000+Num+Card+Sg+Nom
• 123456000000000000000000: 123456000000000000000000+Num+Card+Sg+Nom

The digit strings that end in 6 to 9 + 6n 0’s are inflected alike:

• int digit million loop examples:*
• 1000000: 1000000+Num+Card+Sg+Nom
• 300000000: 300000000+Num+Card+Sg+Nom
• 123456000000000000000: 123456000000000000000+Num+Card+Sg+Nom

Decimal digit strings start with any number of digits 0 to 9, followed by decimal separator comma. The decimal dot may be allowed as substandard variant.

• decimal digit loop examples:*
• 1,0: 1,0+Num+Sg+Nom
• 314,1: 314,1+Num+Sg+Nom

The decimal digit strings end in any number of digits 0 to 9, inflected along the last part.

• decimal digit loop more examples:*
• 3,141: 3,141+Num+Sg+Nom
• 123,345: 123,345+Num+Sg+Nom

The decimal digit strings with dot may be allowed as sub-standard option with respective analysis.

Roman numerals with inflection

Roman numerals are composed the symbols M, D, C, L, X, V, I in ascending scale and some combinations, they denote ordinal numbers and inflect like ones.

Main lexicon for roman digits

This lexicon divides into four groups

• roman numeral examples:*
• MM: MM+Num+Ord+Sg+Nom
• MCXI: MCXI+Num+Ord+Sg+Nom
• CMXCIX: CMXCIX+Num+Ord+Sg+Nom

Roman numerals according to digital class, one by one

Roman thousands

Thousands can be followed by any of other parts

• roman numeral thousand examples:*
• MII: MII+Num+Ord+Sg+Nom
• MCCCXXII: MCCCXXII+Num+Ord+Sg+Nom

Roman hundreds

Hundreds can be followed by anything but thousands:

• roman numeral hundred examples:*
• CXXI: CXXI+Num+Ord+Sg+Nom
• DXXIV: DXXIV+Num+Ord+Sg+Nom

Roman tens

Tens can be followed by ones:

• roman numeral ten examples:*
• XIX: XIX+Num+Ord+Sg+Nom
• XXVII: XXVII+Num+Ord+Sg+Nom

Roman ones

Ones come alone

• roman numerals one to nine examples:*
• IX: IX+Num+Ord+Sg+Nom
• VIII: VIII+Num+Ord+Sg+Nom
• II: II+Num+Ord+Sg+Nom
