===Numerals=== Polabian has both cardinal and ordinal numerals, and a few attestations of collective numerals exist:{{sfn|Lehr-Spławiński|1929|pp=202—206}} {| class="wikitable" style="border-collapse: collapse;text-align:center;" ! !Cardinal !Ordinal !Collective |- !1 |jadån, *janĕ , janü |pară | |- !2 |dåvo, dåvoi̯, dåve |törĕ | |- !3 |tåri, tåroi̯ |tritĕ | |- !4 |citĕr |citjortĕ |citvărü |- !5 |pąt |ṕǫtĕ |pątărü |- !6 |sist |sistĕ |sistărü |- !7 |sidĕm | |sidmărü |- !8 |visĕm |våsmĕ |vismărü |- !9 |divąt |div́ǫtĕ |divątărü |- !10 |disąt |diśǫtĕ |disątărü |- !11 |jadånădist / janădist / janünăctü | | |- !12 |dvenăcti / dvenăcte, dvenădist | | |- !13 |trai̯nocte / trai̯nădist | | |- !14 |citĕrnocti / citĕrnocte, citĕrnădist | | |- !15 |pątnocti, pątnădist | | |- !16 |sistnocti, sistnădist | | |- !17 |sidĕmnocti, sidĕmnădist | | |- !18 |visĕmnocti, visĕmnădist | | |- !19 |divątnocti, divątnădist | | |- !20 |disątnocti | | |- !40 |citĕrdiśǫt | | |- !50 |pą(t)diśǫt | | |- !60 |sis(t)diśǫt | | |- !70 |sidĕmdiśǫt | | |- !80 |visĕmdiśǫt | | |- !90 |divątdiśǫt | | |- |} The endings for -cte / -cti and -dist 11-19 originates from to Proto-Slavic *''desęte'' (prepositional of desętе “ten”). The multiple endings are the result of different placements of stress within the numeral, which is motivated by Polabian processes of stress movement.{{sfn|Lehr-Spławiński|1929|pp=203—204}} The numeral ''thirty'' is attested only by the construction ''pöl ťüpĕ'', (“half a pile”), and sixty is attested only as ''ťüpă'' (“pile”).{{sfn|Lehr-Spławiński|1929|pp=204}}{{sfn|Polański|2010|pp=121}} The original word for ''hundred'' (Proto-Slavic *''sъto'') was not preserved; instead it was replaced by ''disą(t)diśǫt'', literally, “ten tens,” or ''pąt stíďə'', where ''stíďə'' is a borrowing from the Middle German ''stige'' (“twenty, two tens”). The remaining terms for hundreds are unattested. The original term for ''thousand'' (Proto-Slavic *''tysǫti'') was replaced by the construction ''disąt pątstiďə''.{{sfn|Lehr-Spławiński|1929|pp=204—205}}
