327. The Latin numeral adjectives may be classified as follows: 

  1. Cardinal Numerals\, answering the question _how many?_ as,
  u:nus\, one; duo\, _two_; etc.

  2. Ordinal Numerals\, derived in most cases from the cardinals and
  answering the question _in what order?_ as, pri:mus\, first;
  secundus\, _second_; etc.

  3. Distributive Numerals\, answering the question _how many at a
  time?_ as, singuli:\, one at a time.

328. The Cardinal Numerals.  The first twenty of the cardinals are as follows: 

1, u:nus 6, sex 11, u:ndecim 16, se:decim 2, duo 7, septem 12, duodecim 17, septendecim 3, tre:s 8, octo:  13, tredecim 18, duode:vi:ginti:  4, quattuor 9, novem 14, quattuordecim 19, u:nde:vi:ginti:  5, qui:nque 10, decem 15, qui:ndecim 20, vi:ginti: 

    a. Learn also centum\ = 100, ducenti:\ = 200, mi:lle\ = 1000.

329. Declension of the Cardinals.  Of the cardinals only u:nus\, duo\, tre:s\, the hundreds above one hundred, and mi:lle\ used as a noun, are declinable.

a. u:nus\ is one of the nine irregular adjectives, and is declined like nu:llus\ (cf.  Secs. 109, 470).  The plural of u:nus\ is used to agree with a plural noun of a singular meaning, as, u:na castra\, one camp; and with other nouns in the sense of only, as, Galli u:ni\, _only the Gauls_.

    _b._ Learn the declension of duo\, two; tre:s\, _three_; and
    mi:lle\, a thousand. (Sec. 479.)
