This paper offers a comprehensive account of the  exceptional morphosyntactic behaviour of Tura numerals. It explores the ability  of the roots of Tura numerals to be split up by the so-called “intensifiers”, or  better “restrictors”, which, remarkably, are neither affixes nor clitics in  other contexts. This typologically rare phenomenon proves to have interesting  implications for morphology, syntax and pragmatics. I claim that some of these  constructions result from conventionalization and subsequent univerbation of  certain pragmatically marked collocations. The others are a product of  reanalysis by analogy that occurred in one specific syntactic environment. The  need for an adequate synchronic morphological analysis of the constructions at  issue made it necessary to address some theoretical questions, such as  endoclisis, word integrity, and constancy of the morphological status of  linguistic entities. In most cases when restrictors are used in a  numeral-internal position, they are claimed to be infixed roots or infixes. In  addition, the notion of “pseudoword(form)” is proposed to account for some of  the facts attested. The typologically highly interesting category of restrictors  is also examined in detail from syntactic, semantic, etymological and  morphological perspectives.
