Abstract
This article pays attention to the numerals, their forms, and usage in Ērģeme subdialect and its surroundings. As already acknowledged by Marta Rudzīte, cardinal numerals’ forms in the Middle dialect mostly differ phonetically (Rudzīte 1964, 121). It is possible to observe this difference also in Ērģeme subdialect and its surroundings, for example, viens ‘one’ in Standard Latvian language vs. vienc in subdialect. There is also an interesting form of trīs ‘three’, that is – m. trīsi, f. trīsas, which is assumed to be influenced by numerals divi ‘two’ and četri ‘four’ that are next to three.
