Numerals. — Keresan numerals are based on a decimal system. 

 Cardinal numbers 1 through 10 are unanalyzable, although the terms 

 for 7, 8, and 9 are polysyllabic and may be derived forms. The term 

 for seven, for instance, includes a sequence of phonemes similar to 

 those in the term for Jour. 



'iskA one scisA six 



d^ti-mi- two maidyana seven 



cemi three gukumisi eight 



d^a-na four mayuku nine 



ta-riiA five kaci ten 



Numbers 11 through 19 are designated by the word for ten followed 

 by the word for one, two, three, etc.: 



kaci 'i'lskA eleven 



kdci d^u- twelve (note the omission of -mi- here and in derived forms) 



kaci c6mi thirteen 



The addition of the suffix -wa or -ya to the terms for cardinal numbers 

 1 through 10 results in forms that occur both in the designations for 

 20, 30, 40, etc. and, in other contexts, as ordinal numbers. The 

 suffix -ya occurs following the terms for two and three, while -wa is 

 suffixed to the remainder of the number terms: 



d^ti-ya twice, second 



d^u-ya kdci twenty 



c6miya three times, third 



cemiya kdci thirty 



d^a-nawa four times, fourth 



d^a-nawa kdci forty 



References to pueblos and their inhabitants. — Place names are some- 

 times derived from the term designating an inhabitant of that place, 

 while in other cases the reverse is true. The former type of derivation 

 involves the addition of the suffix -ze: 



ti-WA a Tiwa Indian ti-wd-z4 a Tiwa Pueblo 



he-misi a person from J emez he-misi-ze Jemez Puehlo 



s8-ni a person from Zuni s6-nize Zuni Pueblo 



The addition of the suffix -riiE to a place name indicates an inhabitant 

 of that place: 



ddmdyd, Santa Ana Pueblo dd,mdya-mE a person from 



d^i-wi- Santo Domingo Pueblo Santa Ana 



dyi-wi-mE a person from 

 Santo Domingo 



Diminutives and augmentatives.- — The prefix vi- occurs in a large 

 number of words indicating smallness: 



ra-skisi little 



ra-kd,-pAsi thin 



ra-kd-sikA narrow 



ra-kdci shallow 



ra-clcd a small person
