Other comments: Chácobo has only a word ''wïst'ta'' for 'one'' as in wɨ̈sti honi ''one

man'' and wɨ̈sti yoša ''one woman'', ''wïsti ma' [ wïsti + ma negative = not one ]

or many. There is another term ''rabḯta'' whcih means '' a few '', as in rabɨ̈ honi bo

= several men ( b = pl. )

Notes the ( ɨ̈ ) = IPA [ ɪ ] or [ ɨ ].
