This grammar defines numerals from 1 to 999999. The implementations are adapted from the numerals library which defines numerals for 88 languages. The resource grammar implementations add to this inflection (if needed) and ordinal numbers.
Note 1. Number 1 as defined
in the category Numeral here should not be used in the formation of
noun phrases, and should therefore be removed. Instead, one should use
Structural.one_Quant. This makes the grammar simpler
because we can assume that numbers form plural noun phrases.
Note 2. The implementations introduce spaces between parts of a numeral, which is often incorrect - more work on (un)lexing is needed to solve this problem.
