Other comments: Trio or Tiriyó, Tirió, Tarëno ijomi is spoken by approximately 2,400 speakers in Sipaliwini district: Kwamalasamutu on Sipaliwini river, Palumeu on Palumeu river, Tëpu on upper Tapanahoni river, Suriname as well as Brazil. Trió only has traditional numerals from one to four. After four they used Dutch numerals with phonological adaptations. Even for 'two' or 'three', Dutch (or Portuguese) words are fairly common: /tuwei-me/ (from Dutch twee 'two') and /tri-me/ (from Dutch drie 'three'), or /toisi-me/ (from Portuguese dois 'two'), /treisi-me/ (from Portuguese três 'three'). The final /-me/ in these words is an adverbializer; i.e., Dutch/Portuguese numerals are borrowed as if they were nouns, and must be adverbialized by /me/ before they can be used as quantifiers. Only /tëinken/ 'one; alone; only' is really very frequent; /ëëkënë/ is still fairly frequent (at least everybody knows it); /ëerao/ is less known as 'three', and /ëepema/ much less known as 'four'. Note that the symbols 'ë'=IPA [ə]. |
