Morphological characteristics

§ 231. Numerals do not undergo any morphological changes, that is, they do not have morphological categories. In this they differ from nouns with numerical meaning. Thus the numerals ten (десять), hundred (сто), thousand (тысяча) do not have plural forms:

two hundred and fifty,   four thousand people, etc.,

whereas the corresponding homonymous nouns ten (десяток), hundred (сотня), thousand (тысяча) do:

to count in tens,   hundreds of people,  thousands of birds, etc.
