Other comments: South Slavey (Dene Zhatie) or Dene Yatıé is spoken by approximately 780 speakers out of 3,600 ethnic population in Alberta province: Hay River area and Steen River-May Creek watershed; British Columbia province: Fort Nelson-Snake river area; Northwest Territories: Mackenzie district, Great Slave Lake, upper Mackenzie River, Canada. South Slavey has a decimal system. There are five forms of each of the cardinal numbersː a neutral form. a form used for counting times, a form for counting places, a form for counting people and a form for counting ways or kinds.
The forms of 'one' are based on two roots. Beyond 'one', the different forms of the numbers can be analyzed as the result of suffixation. The initial consonant of the suffixes replaces the final consonant, if any, of the root. The numbers 'two', 'three',
'four', and 'five have shorted bound root shapes.
For counting beyond '10', single digits are formed via addition, with wəʔtas 'plus'.
The tens are counted by using the 'time' form of a basic cardinal term followed by the neutral cardinal form of '10.
Summaryː The cardinal numerical system can be analyzed as root (+suffix), where different suffixes are used depending on the type of objects countedː -t time, -t-ən place, -ni person, -xʷ way. Numbers above ten are formed by concatenating numbers with wəʔtas 'plus'. Multiples if ten are based on the -t form.
Notesː
Some speakers feel that kʷəleʔ 'five' is related to -le 'hand.
Etymologically. /qʼədincʼi /'eight' is /qʼə/-'on' /dincʼi/ 'four/
Etymologicallyː /ɬqʼi tsʼit/ 'nine' is /ɬqʼi/'one'+/tsʼit/ 'missing/
