Other comments: Karitiâna, or Caritiana, Yjxa is spoken by approximately 210-300 speakers in Rondônia state: Candeias river, a tributary of upper Madeira river. Speakers of Karitiân typically employ Portuguese numbers, especially in the case of larger numbers. In David Landin’s (1983) brief lexicon of the language, there is a word for 100. I have included it in the attached form, though I have not been able to corroborate it with speakers today. Landin’s research was carried out in the 1970’s. Various other number words have apparently also fallen out of common usage since that time. I have been told that some older speakers in the reservation can provide Karitiân numbers for 21-29, but I have been unable to verify this. The numbers for 21 and 24-27 on the attached form are based on Landin’s lexicon. The numbers given for 1-9 are commonly used and known. The numbers for 10-20 are also commonly known, though I have been given some discrepant responses for a few of these numbers. The ones I provide have been given on multiple occasions. They differ somewhat from those in Landin’s lexicon (he provides 10-12, 15-18, and 20 only). The numbers for 30-90 have not previously been documented in the literature on Karitiân, and were corroborated with 3 adults. As far as the general patterns in the number system, here are some observations: Karitiân is a quinary-based system. The word for ‘hand’ is p?. ?j is a 1st person plural prefix. So many of the numbers clearly include the morphemes corresponding to “our hand”. pi means foot, while piopɨ̃ refers to ‘toe’ and pɨopɨ̃ to ‘finger.’ ota and /oːt are the words for ‘another/other’ and ‘meanwhile,’ respectively. The latter term also means ‘to take.’ Finally, the word for 2 is remarkably similar to the word for eye, which is sɨːpo |
