130 Numerals. Compound Numbers.—From 13 to 19 inclusive, the smaller number is prefixed without et as Septimus dĕecimus. From 21 to 99 either (a) the larger precedes without et, as vīgintī dŭŏ twenty-two, or (b) the smaller precedes with et, as dŭ ŏ et vīgintī two and twenty. From 101 upwards, the larger generally precedes, without or (except Distributives) with et, as centum (et) trīginta (et) quīnque. But sometimes the smaller precedes with et, as trīgintā et dŭcentī.

The Ordinals must be used to give the Year, as A.D. 100, anno post Christum nātūm centē(n)simō.

The Distributives (1) denote that the number belongs to each of several persons or things as puĕrī dēnum annōrum boys of ten years old each; (2) are used in multiplication as bis bŭina twice two; (3) with Nouns which have no Singular corresponding (§ 283) as bīna castra two camps; bīnae litterae two letters (epistles), but duae litterae two letters of the alphabet; (4) Poets often use Distributives for Cardinals.
