Notes
Number Series
In Akachenti, there are clearly several different original number systems that interact in the current number system:
- The Verbs, Series I
- nenga • one
- toncha • nine
- vonda • eleven
- lonla • twelve
- The Verbs, Series II
- amu:t • two
- ahlut • four
- aduit • six
- agajo / avolit • ten (2nd form fits the series)
- The Nouns
- ivien • three
- ibien / abiano • five (partially regularized)
- imien • seven
- liit • eight (missing initial i- in citation, but that's common to monosyllabic nouns containing the diphthong -ii- )
- The Five-Based Verb Series
- abiano • five
- agajo • ten (used in higher numbers)
- amiato • fifteen
- asaglo • twenty
- adialo • twenty-five
- mu:tialiin • fifty, lit. 2 twenty-fives
- hludialiin • one-hundred, lit. 4 twenty-fives
Series II verbs, in the form of mu:-, a compounding morpheme, show up in the grammar, incorporated into the 1st person pronouns of Akachenti and used straight up as a simple plural prefix in some compounds and throughout the Baganechi language. Which means that Series II verbs are likely the oldest, most native set of numbers. That said, the Noun Series shows signs to me that ibien, "five", was either borrowed in first or saw more initial use as it got regularized to match with the preferred verb nature of the native numeral system, though it also got incorporated into the borrowed Five-Based Series.
Etymology
All of the borrowings can be accounted for when I take into account the location of the Ogunn Block (of nations) where Kachan is the dominant lingua franca. It's at the nexus of two or three continents and was long ago the primary region of the trade roads between many nations. The Five-Based Series for certain and likely all of the foreign numbers, regardless of how well nativized, were borrowed for or during trade.
Kachan's numeral system is also clearly decimal and the eleven and twelve numerals and the lack of evidence for neng-, "one", as a productive affix anywhere in the language leads me to believe that Series I verbs are borrowings and Series II verbs are the actual original number system of the Ogunn people. Which also means that dialects preserving grammatical number probably use an as-yet undiscovered root for "one," and I'll find that vestigial root some unlikely place in Akachenti potentially related to the indefinite form of nouns whenever both definite and indefinite seem to be more inflected than the original root bare.
I'm also going to tentatively decide that the Noun Series numerals are the second oldest as they feel very much like Akachenti words and so were probably incorporated sooner. The Five-Based Series would be next and Series I, oddly enough, the newest. I could be off and it might not matter, so I'll stick to mostly worrying about the original numerals in Series II.
That said, judging solely from numerals, either the Ogunni always click borrowed laterals or click consonants is an areal feature in this world.
