The number one (bat) is treated as an adjective, and goes to the right, and as takes grammatical suffixes.
The rest of the numbers go the the left and are not changed.
When discussing math, the verb IZAN (da/dira) is used, as this is always true.
When discussing quantity (how many or there are), EGON (dago, daude) is used.
