--1 Numerals

-- This grammar defines numerals from 1 to 999999. 
-- The implementations are adapted from the
-- [numerals library http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~aarne/GF/examples/numerals/] 
-- 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 Structural.html]$.one_Quant$. 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.
