Other comments: Savi or Sau or Sauji has a vigesimal numeral system. This language sometime is regarded as a dialect of Phalura, and the Sau numeral system might be similar to that of the Phalura. The two phonetic transcriptions within square brackets [ ] represent the respective pronunciation (and for items 50, 70, 90 and 200 different forms used) of the two speakers interviewed, whereas the transcription within angled brackets // represent my tentative phonemic analysis. At the moment of submitting the data, I have analyzed Sauji as having seven phonemic vowels: /i, e, ɛ, a, ɔ, o, u/, while pure length does not seem to be contrastive. I admit that this analysis may have to be revised after more careful investigation has been carried out. /~/ should be interpreted as nasalization of preceding vowel. The system is essentially vigesimal and the numerals 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 20 being non-analyzable. The numerals 11, 13-18 are formed by n+10 with phonetic reduction of the initial segment(s) of the numeral 10. The numerals 21-30 are formed by n+(case)+20. Forty (40) is two twenty. Fifty (50) is built up in the following way: 10+(case/postposition ‘above’)+two-twenty. The same system is applied up to 200 for one of the speakers. The elements /sɛwɛ/ ‘hundred’ and /zɛr/ ‘thousand’ are Pashto loans. There are approximately 9,000 Savi speakers in Sau village on Konar river, Kunar province, Afghanistan a s well as some in Pakistan. |
