Other comments: Yurok is a highly endangered Algic language of northwestern California. The few remaining native of speakers of Yurok treat counting as very difficult. One elder said “Counting is hard. I always used to let my wife handle that. Now she’s gone. I’m not good at numbers.” Number words in this study are taken primarily from older sources, including fieldnotes of A. L. Kroeber, E. Sapir, and M. Haas, Kroeber (1911), and Robins (1958, 1985). The numbers after ten were taken from Robins (1958, 1985). Symbols have their approximate IPA values, with the following exceptions: kw = [kw], k’w = [k’w], c = [tʃ], [ts], c’ = [tʃ’], [ts], hl =[ʉ], s = [s], [ʃ] after /i,y/, g = [ɐ], ’= [ʔ], y = [j], r = [r] (non-syllabic in the margin, syllabic in the nucleus) and long vowels are written as doubled letters. |
