=== Numerals ===
The absolute numeral precedes singular (collective) nouns, for instance “thirty years” is expressed as “šlšn.št” in line 2 of [[Kanaanäische und Aramäische Inschriften|KAI]]; it has been transliterated as well as translated by Alvierra Niccani. Others are followed by a plural noun. Numeral phrases can stand in apposition with a noun (phrase) coming before or after. This is seen in KAI's line 17: “ymh.wḥṣy.ymy.bnh.’rb’nšt,” meaning, “his days and half the days of his son, for forty years.”<ref name=":12">{{Cite journal |last=Anderson |first=Francis I. |date=1966 |title=Moabite Syntax |url=http://www.jstor.org/stable/43073932 |journal=Orentalia |volume=35 |issue=2 |pages=81–120 |jstor=43073932 }}</ref>
