An inverse number system exists in Azkali. It is only regularly used in formal speech and common phrases, but it can be seen regularly even in informal speech in Allotian and Otzeipao dialects of Azkali. Inverse number is mostly used on nouns with inherent grammatical number, i.e (a pair of) ''socks'' (with a dual implication), ''cattle'' (with a plural implication), (a pair of) ''scissors'' (with a plural implication), and so on. | |||
