These always get me. I'm trying to figure out the best word to use in the sense of "to read a list of /numbers/."

Numero?

I think a series of numbers, like a list of them, would be numero. Because nombro means amount or number of things. Hope that helps ridulo.gif

numero - a page number, an address number, etc.

nombro - amount, quantity (sort of like kvanto)

numeralo - numeral. Numerala sistemo - numeral system (e.g. Arabic, Latin)

cifero - numeral, figure as in These budget figures look off (cf. Russian cifra, German Ziffer, Zifferblatt)
