@Surjection I am cleaning up numbers in several languages to use {{number box}} rather than a mixture of {{cardinalbox}}, {{ordinalbox}}, {{adverbialbox}}, {{enum}}, {{sequence}} and {{sequence box}}. Rather than keep pinging you, I am listing all my questions here.
- kol, nel: I put them in the colloquial counting series but not sure if they belong. If taken out of the data,
{{number box|fi}} needs to be removed from the number entry.
- kakskyt, kasikyt, kuuskyt, nelkyt, seiskyt, seitkyt, viiskyt, ysikyt: I put them in the colloquial counting series but not sure if they belong. If taken out of the data,
{{number box|fi}} needs to be removed from the number entry.
- kypä or kybä? Probably the latter. It is currently in the colloquial counting series but maybe shouldn't be.
- kuus, kuustoista, viis: I didn't put them anywhere but maybe they should be added.
- seiska: I put it as a colloquial ordinal but maybe it doesn't belong.
- kymmenkunta, pari kolme, parikymmentä, parisataa, parisenkymmentä, parisensataa, parituhatta, puolenkymmentä, puolensataa, puolikymmentä, puolisataa, puolisenkymmentä, puolisensataa, puolisentoista, puolisentoistasataa, puolitoistakymmentä, puolitoistasataa, toistakymmentä, toistakymmentätuhatta, toistasataa, viitisentoista: Like dizaine and dozen, couple, etc., these should probably not be numerals.

- kol and nel are valid colloquial counting numerals (alongside koo and nee, which are more common in my experience, but that is anecdotal).
- All the -kyt are often used as colloquial counting numerals as well, but also colloquially in general (most people don't bother saying kaksikymmentäseitsemän, but just say kakskytseitsemä(n)). Not sure if there is any better place for them, though...
- Some people may use kypä and kybä as colloquial counting numerals, but they're more often like tenner, i.e. not so much as numerals as nouns.
- These are colloquial forms of (cardinal) numerals (same as in point 2).
- seiska is a colloquial form as well, used in counting but not strictly only for that purpose.
- All the pari, parisen, puoli, puolisen, toista are "inexact" numerals, such as parisataa for "a couple hundred", "a few hundred" and puolisataa for **"a half hundred" (so fifty, I guess this one is not as inexact as the others). -isen are the same way; viitisentoista (“fifteen-ish, about fifteen”). kymmenkunta is an inexact numeral as well, but syntactically speaking a noun rather than the others which are grammatically numerals.
