FTthThth & FSThth
FTthThth: Each ordinal numeral is derived, through the same pattern, from the root of the corresponding cardinal numeral, with the exception of the numeral ‘first,’ whose form is suppletive. This is also known as the “first, twoth, threeth” type.
FSThth: Each ordinal numeral is derived, through the same pattern, from the root of the corresponding cardinal numeral, with the exception of numerals expressing small values. Prototypically, this is limited to ‘first’ and ‘second,’ but can in some cases extend beyond these two. This is also known as the “first, second, threeth” type.

In Komi-Permyak ordinal numerals are formed using the derivational suffix -öt, with the ordinal for ‘first’ being a suppletive form. From ‘eleven’ on, ordinals ending in ‘-one’ use the form ötik (e.g. dasötiköt ‘eleventh’) (Ponomareva 2010: 113).
