Inflection for the singular is the same as type nalle (number 8), while for the plural it is ovi (number 7). (Equivalently, it is the same as type ovi (number 7) but with the nominative singular ending in e rather than i). However, in the ordinal form kolmas and the second possible multiplicative singular form kolmasti (*), the e is replaced with an a (see the ordinal form for more information).
