Seediq has a decimal system, Seediq numbers 6 and 8 are formed by 'double three' and 'double four ', respectively. The data is taken from Teruku dialect.

   stem weakens before penultimate syllable.

    before bilabial. ma- becomes me- before penultimate syllable. -ul becomes -l after a
   vowel. Stem for 10 is xa, which is also found in taxa. Stem for 20 is pusa, whose
   etymology is unclear. Stems for 30, 40 and 50 are teru '3', sepat '4' and rima '5'.
