Other comments: Awajún or Aguaruna is spoken by approximately 53,000 speakers in

Amazonas, Cajamarca, Loreto, and San Martin regions: upper west Marañon river area; Cahuapanas, Mayo, and Potro rivers, Peru.

Aguaruna has basic numerals makitʃík ‘one’, hímaŋ ‘two’ and kampatum ‘three’. ipáksumat ‘four’ is derived from the noun ipak ‘annatto’ plus the verb usumat ‘paint the face’, because the fourth (index) finger is used to paint annatto onto the face.  uwɨhá(n) amuá ‘five’ is derived from the noun uwɨŋ ‘hand’ and the verb amut ‘finish’. Numbers above five combine the ‘finished hand’ with tikiʃ ‘another’ hand and ihut ‘add’. There is considerable variation possible in the numbers from six up, as these are simply descriptions. The system can potentially be carried to twenty by using the toes.  Spanish numerals are generally used for any number greater than three. The (n) that appears in some terms is the accusative suffix, which is typically elided in rapid speech. Note that ipak in number 9 is the plant "achiote" lat. bixa orellana from what they extract a red color paint).

Other comments: As in Huambisa, Awajún or Aguaruna numerals are based on the concept of hand and foot. The system can be extended until 20, but it is not really used further than that. The numbers 'four' and '9' make reference to the finger used to paint (the index finger) (usumɨt is the root for ʼto paintʼ corresponding to Huambisa usumak, ipak is the plant "achiote" lat. bixa orellana from what they extract a red color paint). The numbers beyond ten were taken from SIL linguist, Mildred Larson's data (1966) with modifications for 'j' = IPA [ x ] a velar fricative,  and 'ch' = IPA [tʃ].
