Other comments: Resígero is a nearly extinct language spoken by one speaker only out of 37 ethnic population in Bora and Ocaina villages, Loreto region, Peru.

Resígaro has a traditional counting up to 20. but not many people use the old counting system anymore, they generally use Spanish numerals except for 1, 2 and 5. Numbers 6-9 are counted on the right hand, starting with the little finger.

Numbers 11-15 are counted on the left foot, starting with the little toe.

Note thatː [kʰ] is a voiceless velar plosive; [ts] is voiceless alveolar affricative.

   Resígaro has two toneː High tone [v́] and Low tone unmarked.

1. Transcription

   This is phonemic, following definitions given in Part I of my thesis1, especially

   chapter one, Phoneme level.  I refer you to that chapter for an explanation of the

   allophones of the phonemes.

   In particular, note the following four points:

i)  The vowel transcribed as “u” is a high, back, spread vowel, as is usually transcribed

     with the symbol used for IPA vowel 16 (an inverted “m” symbol).

ii)  Note the comments on the inclusion or absence in transcriptions of the glottal stop,

     on pages 13 and 95 of my thesis.

iii)  An accent symbol shows a high tone, not stress.  Its absence indicates low tone.

iv)  Long vowels are indicated by a doubling of the symbol for the vowel in question.

2. Grammatical 

    Numerals and many other words (for instance, adjectives) have suffixes in Resígaro

    that are determined by the nature and shape of the object(s) designated or referred

    to.  These suffixes are described in my thesis in Part II, chapter 3, starting on page

    152.
    The “basic” forms of the numerals, given above, use the “finger” and “man” classifier

    suffixes; the actual form in any given utterance will depend on the object(s) referred

    to.
Numeral words are listed in alphabetical order for Resígaro and Spanish in Appendix I of my thesis.  Numbers 1-10 are also listed in number order in Appendix II (entries 180-189).

 

Spanish loanword 11-20 are:
 

11 once

12 doce

13 trece

14 catorce

15 quince

16 dieciséis

17 diecisiete

18 dieciocho

19 diecinueve

20 veinte
