Other comments: Panará or Kreen-Akarore is spoken by 380 speakers in Mato Grosso state: Parque Indígena do Xingú; Pará state: Terra Indígena Panará, on Iriri river. Panará or Kreen-Akarore only has few words as numerals. Until I know (I haven´t gone in the Panará village since 2004), the numeral system is the same. In fact these lexical itens aren´t only cardinal numerals. They can work too as multiplicative and mainly as determinatives and quantifiers. The item for ´one´ comes from the homonymous (i)pyti ´sun´ and for `two` is the same root following for dual affix -ra. Note that the traditional symbol 'y' is equal to IPA [ɨ]. |
