By origin the Siuslaw numeral system is probably quinary, 

 although there seem to be only four simple numeral stems; namely, 

 those for one, two, three, and five. The numeral xd'tslun four 

 is to all appearances a plural form of xd'tslu two. The numeral 

 qa'tlmx six could not be analyzed. It is not improbable, however, that 

 it may signify one (finger) up, in which event seven could be ex- 

 plained as denoting two (fingers) up, while eight could be rendered 

 by three (fingers) up. In spite of incessant attempts, the numeral 

 for NINE could not be analyzed. Its probable rendering may be sug- 

 gested as ONE (lacking to) ten. The numerals for fourteen and 

 fifteen may be translated as by ten and four its addition and ten 

 AND five its addition respectively. The exact rendering of nine- 

 teen is obscure, while twenty evidently denotes two times ten, etc. 



Siuslaw does not possess the series of ordinal numerals. These and 

 the numeral adverbs, such as the multiplicative numerals, are expressed 

 idiomatically by means of adverbs or adverbial suffixes. The adverbs 

 pell'te AHEAD and limnl'tc behind (see § 119) are very often used as 

 ordinal numerals for the first two numbers.
