Other comments: Ossetic or Osetin is spoken by approximately 480,000 speakers in

Kabardino-Balkar republic, North Ossetia-Alania republic; north of Ossetic in Georgia,

Russian Federation as well as Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Syria, Turkmenistan, Turkey, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. There are vigesimal and decimal systems in Digor dialect of Ossetic.
   1. In everyday speech, for complex numerals, Russian loans are typically used.
   2. That said, complex numerals in the decimal count are formed after the pattern
      thousands-hundreds-tens-ones, e.g duwɐ mijn duwɐ sɐdɐ ɐrtin farast two thousand
       two hundred thirty nine ‘2239’.
   3. In the vigesimal count, the pattern is ‘thousands hundreds numeral. below. twenty
        and multiple of twenty’.
    4. In the vigesimal count, higher multiples of 100 may be expressed decimally.
    5. The oblique marker -i appears on ‘hundred’ and ‘thousand’ only if no other
       numerals follow.
    6. The status and placement of the stress in both Ossetic languages is unclear, so I
        do not indicate the stress at all.
     7. In the Digor shepherd count, the unit of count is two, because sheep were
        counted pair wise. Some numerals have forms different from that in the standard
         decimal count: artin ‘30’, čippor ‘40’, fɐnʣaj ‘50’, aχšej ‘60’, avdej ‘70’, aštej ‘80’
         Complex numerals are formed as ones-and-tens: cuppar ɐma nawɐ ‘94’. An
        exception are numbers that are equal to eight modulo 10, a special form of the
         word eight is used there without the conjunction: aštin nawɐ ‘98’.
     8. There are two options for 50 in vigecimal systemː dɐs ɐma duwinsɐj and dɐs
         ɐma duwin-sɐdʒi.
