    Usage notes

    The older usage was with a genitive noun in all cases. Later, the noun's case corresponded with the numeral's one except for the nominative/accusative where it still was in the genitive and the numeral instrumental ended in -i like other cases as it is in today's Czech.

    • s pěťú ľudí (later s pěti ľudmi)with five people
