English: Translation
five women
Part of Speech
sentence
Notes
siny: "woman", primarily 'Iipay word. Notice how speaker does not use a plural form of "woman" despite there being more than one. According to Robertson, there is no plural form for siny in her speech (though 'Iipay has siiny, "women"). For "women", she would have to say nyechaak, plural of nyechak "woman" (Tiipay word).
saarrap: "five, are five." As numbers are verbs, this phrase is literally, "women are five."
