You did not got the point SomeoneYouUsedToKnow. In German, like in most language, changes lightly some words according to their relation. English doesn't (unless He/She/It). "Klein" is only the base form. It doesn't appear in closer relations to any word. Only in cases like "Der Junge ist klein" (The boy is small) it appears. In other cases the form change. "Kleiner" is the male and in other cases the comparative form. "Kleine" is the female form and "kleines" the neuter form. That was the first part. The second part is, that numbers in German have always female gender. So "Der Acht" forms "the eight" in Englisch, but "the eight" do not form "der Acht", because numbers are female in German, so it forms "die Acht".

That means "Klein Sieben" forms "small seven", but "small seven" do NOT form "Klein Sieben" but "kleine Sieben". "Weiss Schnee" is the same thing.
