Irish

Usage notes
- Does not function as a suffix; functions as an entirely separate word. Follows the first part of the numeral as well as the noun (if any). Lenites in attributive numerals when the item counted is in the singular and ends in a vowel or is in the plural and ends in a slender consonant (except cinn):
- But:
- trí madraí déag ― thirteen dogs
- seacht dtithe déag ― seventeen houses
- naoi gcinn déag ― nineteen (items/things)
- Additionally, never lenites in ordinal numerals:
- an t-aonú lá déag ― the eleventh day
- an ceathrú duine déag ― the fourteenth person
- an tseachtú mí déag ― the seventeenth month
