(Komi-Permyak)

NumN

NumN: The numeral precedes the noun or NP; numeral classifiers are not required.

(1)kykmort
twoman
’two people’ (L. P.)

(2)mortkyk
mantwo
’about two people’ (L. P.)

In Komi-Permyak a numeral typically precedes the noun (1). Less commonly, the numeral follows the noun (2), in which case it expresses an approximate value (cf. Batalova 2002: 76–77).
