Other comments: Chenoua numerals '1 to 2 ' show two genders, namelyː masculine gender and feminine gender, they used Arabic numerals now. Extremely incomplete list, but source says that from three onwards the numerals are simply Arabic.

Chenoua is a Zenati Berber language spoken on Mount Chenoua (Jebel Chenoua) in Algeria, just west of Algiers, and in the provinces of Tipaza (including the town of Cherchell) and Chlef. The speech of Jebel Chenoua proper is mutually comprehensible with that of the nearby Beni Menacer and Beni Haoua, and the two are thus treated as a single language. There are some 76,000 speakers.
