Cet article etudie, de maniere critique, l’incidence des traditions culturelles de comptage et de calcul sur les transactions normales entre des femmes negociantes, pour la plupart illetrees et ne sachant pas compter, et leurs clients paysans, que ce soit sur les marches de Mendefera et d’Addi Khwala, ou de leurs alentours, en Erythree. Il montre aussi comment des systemes de numeration non ecrits et transmis oralement sont mobilises par ces femmes non seulement pour toutes leurs operations commerciales mais dans leurs propres mecanismes de defense contre des formes de malhonnetete pouvant survenir avec l’introduction de chiffres et de mots ecrits, ou dans leurs rapports avec la comptabilite de l’administration fiscale. L’accent est notamment mis sur la question de savoir si ces negociantes font socialement et culturellement un large usage de ces methodes de comptage et de calcul afin d’accroitre leur commerce, en depit de la predominance et de l’ampleur de l’« innumeracy
