multiplication, the appropriate numeral adverb preceding the word for 

 ten. xi'n ixdll thirty, however, uses the original cardinal xin, instead 

 of the numeral adverb xint\ The hundreds (including two hundred 

 and one thousand) are similarly expressed as multiplications of one 

 hundred {Ueimi'^s), the numeral adverbs {xin instead of xi'nt'' in 

 three hundred) preceding Veimi'^s. Numerals above one thousand 

 ( = 10 X 100) can hardly have been in much use among the Takelma, 

 but can be expressed, if desired, by prefixing the numeral adverbs 

 derived from the tens to tleimi'^s; e. g., deJialdan ixdlldan tleimi'^s 

 5X10X100 = 5,000. 



As far as the syntactic treatment of cardinal numerals is concerned, 

 it should be noted that the plural of the noun modified is never em- 

 ployed with any of them : 



wa-iwi'^ gdpHni girl two (i. e., two girls) 55.2, 5, 7, 12 {wa-iwl'^- 



f'an girls 56.11) 

 mdlogold' f' a ga' 'pUni old-woman two 26.14 {mologold'pakJan old 



women 1.38.10)' 

 Jid'p'da gd'pHni his child two 154.17 (hd'pxda his children) 



Like adjectives, attributive numerals regularly follow the noun. 

 § 111, Numeral AdverJ>s 



The numeral adverbs denoting so and so many times are derived 

 from the corresponding cardinals by suffixing -an (often weakened 

 to -Hn) to gd'^m two and its derivative gram^a'm four; -f, to xin 

 three; -da^n, to other numerals {-ada'n, to those ending in -^m and 

 -ts!- = -^s). TiaHgd'^m seven and liaHxVn eight, it will be observed, 

 do not follow gd'^m and xin in the formation of their numeral adverbs, 

 but add -{a)da'n. 



It is not impossible that mu^x- in mu^xda^'n once is genetically 

 related and perhaps dialectically equivalent to ml^^s-, but no known 

 grammatic or phonetic process of Takelma enables one to connect them. 

 JiaHgo^gadd^n nine times seems to insert a -ga- between the cardinal 

 and the adverbial suffix -dan. The most plausible explanation of the 

 form is its interpretation as nine QuiHgo^) that {ga) number-of-times 

 {-da^n), the demonstrative serving as a peg to hang the suffix on. 



From the numeral adverbs are derived, by prefixing Ji^a- in, a 

 further series with the signification of in so and so many places : 



Tia-gd'^ni'dn in two places 

 lia-gamgama^n 176.2, 3 in four places 

 7ia-JiaHgd^gada^n in nine places
