Other comments: Ersu has a ten-based numeral system. The above data was taken from different dialect of the Ersu language differs from that of dialect provided by Prof. Sun Hongkai. Ersu numbers >10 are formed through compounding. Numbers from 10-19: Numerals denoting numbers of this group are coordinate compounds containing a "core" bound morpheme tsʰɛ⁵⁵, 'teen' followed by a basic numeral except 'eleven' and 'thirteen'. As shown in above table, the numeral ?eleven? is not formed through the "core" morpheme tsʰ⁵⁵, ''teen'' and the basic numeral tə⁵⁵, 'one', but tsʰɛ⁵⁵, ?'teen' and an attachment tsɿ⁵⁵ whose meaning is unknown in this context; similar to 'eleven', the numeral 'thirteen' is also not formed through the 'core' morpheme tsʰ⁵⁵, 'teen' and the basic numeral si⁵⁵, 'three', but tsʰɛ⁵⁵, 'teen' and an attachment sa⁵⁵, too. Ersu Numbers from 20 to 39: Numbers of this group share a 'core' morpheme, a ''round number'' classifier tsʰɿ⁵⁵, 'ten'. Numbers from 20 to 29 are formed through a bound compound morpheme nə⁵⁵.tsʰɿ⁵⁵, 'two.ten=>twenty' plus a basic numeral and numbers from 30 to 39 are formed through a bound compound morpheme sa⁵⁵.tsʰɿ⁵⁵, 'three. ten=>thirty' plus a basic numeral. Numbers from 40 to 90 are constructed in the way of ''basic numeral plus ''round number classifiers''. The largest number attested in Ersu is nbo⁵⁵ tsʰo⁵⁵, 'ten thousand.
