Orcish Numbers

Numbers

Generally, numbers are treated like adjectives.  They usually go after the word they modify.  (Again, most orcs would probably ignore this rule.)  You will also notice that the Ring Verse places them before the word they modify (ash nazg . . . ).  This may have been done for poetic reasons.

Ash, one

Krul, two

Gakh, three

Zag, four

Kraak, five

Rut, six

Udu, seven

Ski, eight

Krith, nine

Gal, ten
