This feels too good to be true... does Archi really have a separate system of numbers for counting sheep? If so this will definitely be a FWOTD. Only one mention or use is needed, in accordance with. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 22:26, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Abenaki has separate numbers for counting living things (e.g. nloak = 3), for counting nonliving things (nhenol = 3), and for "merely counting" (nas = 3). That's obviously irrelevant to this, but I mention it in case you'd be interested in them for FWOTD. - -sche (discuss) 23:02, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
 * English has numbers for counting sheep too doesn't it? Sheep counting 23:38, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

Inflection for animacy and differentiation between counting things and just counting are both not especially rare phenomena, although I don't think I've seen them together in a single language before. I think this transcends Abenaki... Anyway, a non-durable Archi dictionary supports this definition, but I am unable to find any other web hits or BGC hits in Archi's Cyrillic or Latin orthography that are not scannos of linguistic and mathematical texts. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 23:17, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
