The four examples of the Serian numeral “twenty” are merely

combinations of the terms _kō´k_, _koch_, _kookχ´_ and _jaukl_ (for

_χaukl)_, all cognate forms, meaning “two”, and the forms _ŭntç_,

_eansl_, _kanlχ´_, and _taul_, all cognate and signifying “ten”.

The Yuman expressions denoting “twenty” are all, with two exceptions,

combinations the dialectic elements denotive of “ten” and the forms of

the numeral “two”, which have been treated elsewhere in their proper

places. The two exceptions are (III) the Cochimi, which signifies “all

the fingers and toes”, and (21) the Santa Catalina, which here presents

what appears to be a new term for “ten”, for the final word _howŭk_ is

the numeral “two”. These analyses do not show relationship between the

Serian and the Yuman terms.
