Note 108 — NORTH AMERICAN TRIBES.

Reading edition

Die Länder am untern Rio Bravo del Norte. S. 120, sqq. (Heidelberg, 1861.) I give the following words from his vocabulary of the Carrizos:

Man, nâ.

Woman, estoc, kem.

Sun, al.

Moon, kan.

Fire, len.

One, pequeten.

Two, acequeten.

Three, guiye.

Four, naiye.

Five, maguele.

The numbers three, four and five are plainly the Nahuatl yey, nahui, macuilli, borrowed from their Uto-Aztecan neighbors.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
