Other comments: Carrier (Dakelh) or Central Carrier is spoken by approximately 400 speakers in British Columbia province: Stuart and Trembleur lake area, Canada.
The
above data was taken from Stuart Lake Carrier in
British Columbia province, Canada.
The
Carrier system of counting being based on the
number of the fingers of one hand, is quinary. Thus the number six is
rendered by a word which refer to both hands, on each of which three
fingers are held out while the speaker utters the equivalent of that
numberː
iłkʼʌta,
lit. on, -łkʼʌ-; one another (that is both hands). The same
process is restored to for eight, and for nine the Carriers
unconsciously conform to the Greek way, sayingː one is lacking ( to have
both hands entirely used, that is to make ten). |
