The mystical elements and interconnected symbols in ''Riddley Walker'' are intimately connected with {{Ix|number|numbers}} -- or, as Riddley always abbreviates and capitalizes, Nos.

'''One and two:''' The {{Ix|1 Big 1}} is both the ultimate secret sought by Eusa and the source of ultimate destruction; the {{Ix|1 Littl 1}} is its counterpart on a more human scale. [[A_32_11|Duality]] and [[A_34_8|division]] are recurring themes, especially in the [[Eusa story]] where Eusa's [[A_30_23|two dogs]] lead him to the {{Ix|Littl Shyning Man}}, who is then torn in half ("Lukin for the 1 yu wil aul ways fyn thay 2 ... Thay 2 is 2ce as bad as the 1"). The {{Ix|Big 2}} are the heads of state.

'''Three:''' The [[A_189_17|ingredients]] of the 1 Littl 1; Eusa and his two sons; Punch's family; the three strokes of the [[A_43_3|Eusa scar]]; the three fingers used for a [[Punch|hand puppet]].

'''Four:''' Eusa's original family, reunited in death; {{Ix|Salt 4}}; the four classical elements.

'''Nine:''' The number of towns in [[Fools Circel 9wys]], where the [[A_96_28|45 Eusa folk]] are kept; in Celtic tradition, the eight directions plus the {{Ix|center}; in Greek mythology, the number of the Muses. {{By|BF}}

'''Twelve:''' Riddley's [[A_1_1|age]] (and Lissener's); the number of points on the stag's horns in the [[Eusa story]]; calendar months and zodiac signs; the "[[A_8_16|judgd men number]]" of a jury; Jesus's disciples.
