The aim of this overview is to describe not only how Czech numerals are formed, but also their word-forming possibilities, where they can display formal variations. This approach allows new considerations about peripherals and borders of the word class called numerals, as well as a useful formal description of numeral elemets in deriving and compounding.
This article is a counterpart to the overwiew I: definite numerals in the previ-ous number. Three kinds of indefiniteness are introduced: (1) the problematic subclass of traditional indefinite numerals in the strict sense (lexical means for giving quantities on the scale ''few-much''), the most representants of it being rather adverbs of measure; (2) the subclass of algebraic numerals and (3) the subclass of deictic numerals containing demonstrative, interrogative/relative and indefinite numerals in the sense of indexical indefiniteness. One group of indefinite deictics, nevímkolik and suchlike, is presented as one pole of continuum with expressions in the sentence form on the other pole. Combinations of indefinite numerals with other numerals, with other parts of speech etc., used when expressing an indefinite quantity, are mentioned as well.
