Ains, twai, threis, fidwor, etc... ? Or would you just use the neuter:
ain, twa, thrija, fidwor...?

Likewise, what if you were counting objects, like in english "object
one, object two, object three..."? Would it agree with the noun? I
feel like the numbers should be in some kind of singular form rather
than as plural adjectives in this context. 

I've been wondering about this for awhile, so any help would be much
appreciated. Thanks.
