Other comments: Mocovi or Mokovi is spoken by approximately 2,700 speakers out of 15,800 ethnic population in Chaco and Santa Fe provinces, Argentina. Like other Guaycuruan languages, the Mocoví language has not cardinal numeral system but there are some loanwords of Spanish. These loanwords have morphology Mocoví. The different between onoki and onoli in the first example is that -oki is the male diminutive, and -oli is the female diminutive. In the others cases (2-10) the morpheme indicates a diminutive plural. Furthermore this language distinguishes paucal and plural morphemes in the nouns.
