Other comments: Wamonë-cuiba might have a traditional counting system up to

twenty by using hands and feet before, but now all numbers 6 and beyond are in Spanish.

Note that the <ë > was formally written as <ae>; <k> formally was <c/qu>.

The <ù> is a vowel position posterior, back high open and unrounded = IPA [ʊ].
