Combining 11 to 19 with nouns
The structure is: number + r or l + singular noun without the definite article
sṭṭaš r 3am or sṭṭaš l 3am — sixteen years
tmnṭaš r bnt or tmnṭaš l bnt — eighteen girls
The noun is singular. The plural noun form is used only with numbers from 2 to 10 — for other numbers, the singular form is used.
