Suki Language - Morphology - Numerals

Numerals

There are four numerals native to Suki, though only two morphemes to express these and perhaps only one of them is original to the language. Voorhoeve states that Suki seems to have borrowed menes (two) from the neighboring Zimakani people. Numerals can also take a limited number of case affixes.

1 nimap
2 menes
3 menes nimap
4 menes menes

In writing, numerals one through four are spelled out, while numerals above four are written with Arabic numerals.
