200 uses the dual form of مِئَة: مِئَتَانِ (nominative) / مِئَتَيْنِ (accusative/genitive). The counted noun follows in genitive singular.
300-900 use an iḍāfa construction: the unit number + مِئَة. Because مِئَة is feminine, the units 3-10 appear in their without-taa form (ثَلَاث, أَرْبَع...) following reverse polarity.
