Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the consideration of univerbs-quantifiers in modern Russian and Belarusian languages. Univerbs-quantifiers are based on quantitative characteristics, that is, they contain numeric names, are formed using a certain inventory of univerbators, grammatically refer to the feminine or masculine gender. Suffix univerbs-quantifiers refer mainly to the spoken and special areas of use of Russian and Belarusian languages. It is concluded that univerbs-quantifiers are a small but open group of single-word derivatives in comparable closely related languages, as evidenced by their fixation by dictionaries of new words and national language buildings.
