If a numeral expression contains a complex constituent, then the numerical value of the complex constituent itself in isolation receives either simple lexical expression or is expressed by the same function and in the same phonological shape, except for possible automatic phonological alternations, stress shifts, or overt expressions of co-ordination. This principle will be called the principle of incorporation.

IF a numeral expression contains a complex constituent, THEN the numerical value of the complex constituent itself in isolation receives either simple lexical expression or is expressed by the same function and in the same phonological shape, except for possible automatic phonological alternations, stress shifts, or overt expressions of co-ordination.
A complex constituent contains at least two numerals, e.g. in French, where 72 is expressed as “soixante-douze” (60+12), 372 would be expressed in the same manner, as “trois-cents-soixante-douze” (3×100+60+12) and not as *“trois-cents-septante dix deux”.
