Today we will make some dates for our calendar.
Klamath uses the number form with the -ni suffix to describe something in relation to other numbers-first, second, third, fourth, fifth,…
So, we have a third use for this suffix. The suffix -ni indicates what is called the ordinal number.
Today’s date is: December31st.
We will work with the number. It is a whole other thing for months.
30 + 1=31st
tewnipni ndan ant nas
17th=tewnip ant lapksept 10 + 7
tewnipni=10th
1st=lobini
