===Finnish Language=== There is yet another language having this feature (by now, only in traces), however, still in active use today. This is the [[Finnish Language]], where the (spelled out) numerals are used this way should a digit of 8 or 9 occur. The scheme is like this:<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kielitoimiston sanakirja |url=https://www.kielitoimistonsanakirja.fi/#/perusluku |access-date=2024-04-07 |website=www.kielitoimistonsanakirja.fi}}</ref> *1 = "yksi" (Note: yhd- or yht- mostly when about to be declined; e.g. "yhdessä" = "together, as one [entity]") *2 = "kaksi" (Also note: kahde-, kahte- when declined) *3 = "kolme" *4 = "neljä" ... *7 = "seitsemän" *8 = "kah(d)eksan" (two left [for it to reach it]) *9 = "yh(d)eksän" (one left [for it to reach it]) *10 = "kymmenen" (ten) Above list is no special case, it consequently appears in larger cardinals as well, e.g.: *399 = "kolmesataayhdeksänkymmentäyhdeksän" Emphasizing of these attributes stay present even in the shortest colloquial forms of numerals: *1 = "yy" *2 = "kaa" *3 = "koo" ... *7 = "seiska" *8 = "kasi" *9 = "ysi" *10 = "kymppi" However, this phenomenon has no influence on written numerals, the Finnish use the standard Western-Arabic decimal notation.
