Other comments: Rendille has a decimal system. Rendille numeral 'one' has two forms. The second one 'ko:kalɖay' is an isolation form, literately means 'only one'. Thousand is a loan from Swahili /Arabic. The IPA symbol 'j' is usually expressed by 'y'. The acute accent indicates high tone, the circumflex falling tone. All other tones are low. Rendille is a Cushitic language spoken by the Rendille people inhabiting in Marsabit and Samburu counties, between Lake Turkana and Marsabit mountain, northern Kenya by approximately 60,000 speaker. The Ariaal sub-group of the Rendille, who are of mixed Nilotic and Cushitic descent, speak the Nilo-Saharan Samburu language of the Samburu Nilotes near whom they live.
