Other comments: The Capanahua people have a traditional counting up to 'five'. They

can go beyond that, up to twenty, with the native system. Some have adapted their

system to accommodate the Quechua system because of they have had with Quechua speakers through the workers of early (1800) exploiters of forest products. Numbers

8, 9, 13, 14, 18 and 19 are, of course, a mixture of Capanahua and Quechua, the terms

''kimiša'' and ''čosko '' being Quechua. They are now using Quechua or Spanish numbers more often.

Note that the traditional phonetic symbolsː < ï > = IPA [ɯ], high back unrounded

vowel. [á ] is an accented mark = IPA [ ˈa ].
