Sorry to arrive at this thread late, but I was wondering how to distinguish "twenty-three million albums" (23,000,000 albums) from "three million and twenty albums" (3,000,020) traditionally (i.e., without the cop-out of reverting to counting numbers), then Lughaidh's response may have given me the answer.

23,000,000 albums -
trí mhilliún is fiche albam3,000,020 albums -

milliún but before
albam.
Here are some more examples:
23,023,023 albums -
trí mhilliún is fiche, trí mhíle is fiche, trí albam is fiche23,323,323 albums -
trí mhilliún is fiche, trí chéad is trí mhíle is fiche, trí chéad is trí albam is ficheAnyone able to confirm or correct that?
