Summary/Abstract: This paper deals with numbers and numerical words and their notation in Croatian spelling. Their analysis and description will be considered from several aspects. The starting point is the section on spelling, dealing with combined and separated writing, which is one of the most difficult and demanding aspects of spelling in a large number of languages, including Croatian. In view of the fact that the problem of demarcation of one word from another is, in fact, intrinsically linguistic, and only secondarily a spelling problem, it is necessary to enter into a linguistic investigation, primarily regarding the formation of words. This research includes Croatian spelling starting with Kušar’s Orthography (Kušarov pravopis), published in 1889, up to Croatian Orthography (Hrvatski pravopis), published by the Institute for Croatian Language and Linguistics in 2013.
