Other comments: Aparaí or Arakwayu is spoken by approximately 950 speakers in  Pará state: Paru Leste river; some on Jarí and Citare rivers and a few in Amapá state, Brazil. The Apalaí people using Portuguese numbers beyond 10 because any thing else, though theoretically possible, is too cumbersome. They had a traditional counting up to twenty before, but The only old data we know of is the word for twenty is: pupu (foot) porehme (all). The literal translation is "both feet" which implies counting the fingers and toes. During our early years, the women especially said the counting was 1,  2, 3 and "many". The young people who are studying Portuguese, are writing the numbers using Portuguese spelling. The “r” is flapped, IPA [ɾ ]. The “y” is an “i” with a line through it, IPA [ɨ].
