NUMBERS

The Cardinal Numbersm

one ip, ap, up
two twip
three trip
four fip
five flip
six sip
seven zynip* ("z'nip")
eight jip
nine dip
ten tip
TEEN TIPPI + #
Zero, of course, is "zip (zap, zup)."


*Named after Robert Lozyniac (D~L., "Lamiac-5"), who was kind enough to point out a glaring mistake in this nomenclature.  Not that that happens often, of course.  And wipe that grin off your face.
eleven tippi-ip (tippip)
twelve tippi-twip
thirteen tippi-trip
fourteen tippi-fip
etc. tippi-nip
twenty twippity (example: 23 = twippity trip
thirty trippity
forty, etc. fippity, flippity, sippity, zippity (my favorite), etc.
hundred tippity
thousand tippita
million tippitaat
billion tippisaagan (In memory of Carl)
a frickin' blillion tippimegan  (If Megan only knew).
The word "number" is "nip."

Example:

Number 3,000 = (either) nip tip tippita, (or, for the sake of the rhyme, as thirty hundreds) nip trippity-tippity.

Big-ass example:
4,672,923,324 =

fip-tippisaagan, sip-tippity zynippity-twip tippitaat, dip-tippity twippity-trip tippita, trip-twippity twippity-fip

The same big-ass number used in a malleable way in a sentence in the past tense:

fap-tappisaagan, sap-tappaty znyappaty-twap tappataat, dap-tappaty twappaty-trap tappata, trap-twappaty twappaty-fap

The Ordinals

The adjectival version of numbers is created by simply adding the "-s" suffix.
EXAMPLES:

First = ips (aps, ups)
Second = twips

324th = trip-tippity twippity-fips

A mixed example:
one fourth = ip-fips

MULTIPLES OF NUMBERS

For multiples of numbers, merely st-stutter.


once i-ip (a-ap, u-up)
twice t-twip
thrice t-trip
a dozen times t-tip-twip
