I shall here give a specimen of the Hebrew method of counting, and that of the Cheerake, Chikkasah, and Muskohge or Creeks, by which some farther analogy will appear between the savage Indians, and their supposed Israelitish brethren. The Hebrew characters were numeral figures: they counted by them STOPP alphabetically, א (1), ב (2), and so on to the letter י, the tenth letter of the alphabet, and which stands for ten; then, by prefixing י to those letters, they proceeded with their rising numbers, as יא (11), יב (12), יג (13), יד (14), &c. They had words also of a numeral power, as אח͏ד (1), שני (2), שלשי (3), אדבע (4), &c. We shall now see how the Indian method of numbering agrees with this old standard, as well as with the idiom of the Hebrew language in similar cases. The Cheerake number thus: _Soquo_ 1, _Tahre_ 2, _Choeh_ 3, _Nankke_ 4, _Ishke_ 5, _Sootáre_ 6, _Karekóge_ 7, _Suhnâyra_ 8, _Sohnáyra_ 9, _Skoeh_ 10, _Soàtoo_ 11, _Taràtoo_ 12, &c. And here we may see a parity of words between two of the Indian nations; for the Muskohge term a stone, _Tahre_; which glances at the Hebrew, as they not only built with such material, but used it as a word of number, expressive of two. In like manner, _Ishke_ “five,” signifies a mother, which seems to shew that their numeral words were formerly significant; and that they are one stock of people. The Chikkasah and Choktah count in this manner—_Chephpha_ 1, _Toogàlo_ 2, _Tootchēna_ 3, _Oosta_ 4, _Tathlābe_ 5, _Hannāhle_ 6, _Untoogàlo_ 7, _Untootchēna_ 8, _Chakkále_ 9, _Pokoole_ 10, _Pokoole Aawa Chephpha_, “ten and one,” and so on. The Cheerake have an old waste town, on the Georgia south-west branch of Savannah river, called _Toogàlo_; which word may come under the former observation, upon the numerical word two: and they call a pompion, _Oosto_, which resembles _Oosta_, four.
