It is unfortunate that the meanings of these remarkable numerals cannot be given. The counting is evidently quinary, but the terms used must have been purely descriptive expressions, having their origin undoubtedly in certain gestures or finger motions. The numerals obtained from this region, and from the tribes to the south and east of the Carib country, are especially rich in digital terms, and an a.n.a.lysis of the above numerals would probably show clearly the mental steps through which this people pa.s.sed in constructing the rude scale which served for the expression of their ideas of number.
