A little puzzle that I am trying to work out. The one for 'one' is either
yo'o or
'o in Copala Triqui, but I do not understand the different. B. Hollenbach's dictionary lists one as a variant of the other.
It seems to me that possibly the two forms have a different syntactic distribution. Yo'o appears in contexts that mostly seem like existentials, especially introducing a new noun phrases. The following three examples seem typical:
 |
| 1 Cor 5:1 |
 |
| 1 Cor 10:16 |
 |
| Acts 5:1 |
'o has a somewhat different distribution, which I will explore in a subsequent post.
