Other comments: Yora is spoken in Santa Rosa de Serjali, at the mouth of the Serjali river, which is on the Mishagua river, in Peru. The above are the only Yora traditional numerals. Traditionally their term for numeral two can also be used for a quantity of three. I base this on having observed some of them hold up three fingers while using the word that serves for two. I think that Yora speakers who are familiar with the Spanish numeral system are more likely to use it strictly for a quantity of two. |
