Other comments: Macuna or Makuna-Erulia is spoken by approximately 1,000 speakers in Vaupés department: Apaporis tributaries, Mirití-Paraná, and lower Pira-Parana, Colombia as well as Brazil. Macuna has a traditional counting system similar to that of Barasano or Eduria or Jãnerã. It is based on 5 until the number 20. After 20 numbers continue in groups of 20. The system groups the digits of the hands and feet. For example "a hand and two" equals 7, two hands equals 10. A foot and two equals 17. A person is 20 and two persons are 40. For the most part when relating a number more than 5 the Macuna just say, "Many." For example a returning fisherman would say he caught many fish if the number was more than 5. The numbers 40, 60, 80 and 100 I have (ra) and (mõkõ) in parenthesis. |
