For brevity, when a verb of cardinality appears in the falling tone, we're actually allowed to omit the prefix altogether: {{Derani|󱚹󱚹 󱚺󱛊󱚰󱚺 󱛕|Cı áma.}} As linguists, we say that {{Derani|󱚵󱚴󱛒|ne-}} has a '''null allomorph'''.

Another important prefix is {{Derani|󱛄󱛃󱛒|ko-}}. It forms '''ordinals''', much like the English suffix '-th'.
