Western Abenaki Language - THE NUMBERS ONE TO FIVE
In Western Abenaki the numbers one to five have both animate and inanimate forms. Animate forms are always used when counting animate nouns, and inanimate forms with inanimate nouns. The numbers from six on remain the same regardless of the objects being counted. pazegwen sen / one stone pazego mamij8la / one butterfly nisnol senal / two stones niswak mamij8lak / etc . . . nhenol senal nhloak mamij8lak iawnol senal iawak mamij8lak nonnenol senal nonnoak mamij8lak
