Where the distinction between absolute and contextual cardinal numerals exists, the use of contextual form as a multiplier with a lower base implies its use with all higher bases.
Standardized
Where there is a distinction between absolute and contextual cardinal numerals, IF the contextual form is used as a multiplier with a lower base, THEN the contextual form is also used with all higher bases.
1. MULTIPLICAND = a quantity to be multiplied by another.MultiplieR = a quantity by which another is multiplied.2. There is a fair number of languages in which there are distinct counting and discourse forms. In such instances we may call the former absolute and the latter contextual. 3. Mandarin (Sinitic, Sino-Tibetan) has two forms of ‘two’, “èr” (absolute) and “liang” (contextual). “èr” is used as a multiplier of ‘ten’, while “liang” is the usual but not exclusive form used with ‘hundred’, ‘thousand’ and ‘ten-thousand’. The use of the contextual form with bases relates to the general principle that bases behave like substantives, and the larger their numerical value, the more substantive-like they are. 4. Note also ##557, 558, 560.
