#### Usage notes

* According to the Standard Koine a masculine cardinal number should be used when referring to an abstract number, e.g. in phone numbers, and also in every place where the word ܡܸܢܝܵܢܵܐ (minyānā, “number”) can be used before the number, e.g. ܐܘܿܛܘܿܒܘܼܣ (ܡܸܢܝܵܢܵܐ) ܚܲܕ݇ (ōṭōbūs (minyānā) ḥa, “bus (number) one”).
* Other places where the masculine cardinal numbers are used are in counting, and in most dialects of colloquial Assyrian Neo-Aramaic is always used regardless of gender.
