Word order of ordinal numerals (Synja Khanty)

OrdN: The ordinal numeral precedes the noun or NP.


(1) xūl-mǝt etaš-ǝn ūl-l-ǝm.

I three-ord floor-loc live-prs-1sg

‘I live on the third floor.’ (Onina 2009: 53)


In Synja Khanty, ordinal numberals (such as other noun modifiers) precede the noun head or the noun phrase (cf. Honti 1984: 88).
