Other comments: Komo
is spoken by approximately 37,000 speakers in
Kurmuk district, Blue Nile state, Southeast
Sudan, as well as Ethiopia and South Sudan.
The Komo
has a vigesimal
system.
Data are
presented phonemically. Word boundaries are not necessarily
representative of phonetic realizations as many segments are elided in
natural speech. A conservative parsing is employed to illustrate
components with individual meaning and/or grammatical function in the
overall construction. Many numerals contain verbs that can take verbal
morphology, though verbal inflection has been omitted from these data.
The
numeral 10 is composed of the verb
kʼɔ́ʃ 'to kill' and
kʼɔ̀lɔ̀
'hand(s)'. Numerals 11-20 employ base 10 + the verb
áyúk
' to remain'. The numeral 20 roughly corresponds to '(this is) one
person' where
tɛ̀l
may be an old coupla and
yiba
'person'. The numeral 40 could be translated as 'two men standing' where
synchronically
dɔʃ
means
'stand' and giba
'people'. The numeral 100 needs to be rechecked for accuracy
as it was obtained from only one speaker. /y/ is IPA platal glide /j/. |
