If the multiplier follows the multiplicand in a particular numeral, it follows in all higher numerals which are expressed by multiplication. Where there is this variability in multiplicand-multiplier order, the language is always one in which the numeral follows the noun.
Standardized
In numeral systems, IF the multiplier follows the multiplicand in a particular numeral, THEN it follows in all higher numerals which are expressed by multiplication. IF there is this variability in multiplicand-multiplier order, THEN the numeral follows the noun.
1. MULTIPLICAND = a quantity to be multiplied by another.2. MultiplieR = a quantity by which another is multiplied.3. In Margi (Chadic, Afro-Asiatic), for example, the order with multiplier of ten is 2×10, 3×10, etc, but where hundreds are 100×2, 100×3, etc. In this language the numeral follows the noun. 4. The general principle which underlies this generalization is the larger the number value of a numeral, the more it resembles a noun in its syntax; cf. Corbett’s statement #152 .
