Other comments: Akuntsú is seriously endangered languages spoken by only six people in Rondônia state: Rio Omerê Indigenous Territory, all monolinguals, the remnants of a genocide. Akuntsú people were first contacted by FUNAI only in 1995. Akuntsú has names for the numerals one and two, they use the word 'kɨte' to say also 'alone'. For the number three they show the number three in the hand but they also say 'tɨrɨ'. So, In Akuntsú, numbers as 6, 8, 10 are shown in the hand by putting the fingers together two by two. It is really interesting the way they say 30 days one month.
