Other comments: The five first Cashinahua numerals are traditional. Of course they can count with 5 for menki 'a hand' but it is not common, or even 6; 7; 8… but we don't know if it is traditional or what. Maybe they got them by contact with Europeans.

Other comments: Cashinahua has only two numbers and using fingers, hands and

feet, they can count up to twenty. They mighty use Spanish numbers now. Updated data needed.
