Other comments: Aweti or Auetí, Auití is spoken by approximately 170 speakers in

Mato Grosso state: Xingú park, Rio Culiseu, Aweti, and Sauva villages; upper Xingú river, Brazil. Aweti people can count up to ten, but the numbers from 6 to 10, and even 5, seem not to be much lexicalized, and are not often used anyway. For even these numbers, and certainly for numbers above 10, nowadays Portuguese loans are used.

Other notesː

1 – mɔˈmɔ: ‘other’, ʐɔˈtsu: ‘only, just’

2 – (unanalyzable, cognates in many Tupian languages)

3 – (unanalyzable, maybe : hand (absolute form with initial m); iˈtat: ‘master,
      possessor’; ‑(ɨ)ka: ‘NEG’??
)

4 – ˈkɔ̃j: ‘2’; ‑put: ‘COMPLeteness, Nominal Past’

5 – kaj‑: ‘we, our (incl)’; ˈpɔ: ‘hand’; ɔˈpap: ‘… ended, … is finished’ (it varies from
      speaker to speaker if “kajpowpap” means ‘5’ or ‘10’ or both, or if “momozotsu
      may / has to be added)

6–9 – For the first element, see numbers 1 to 4 above. For kajˈ: ‘our hand’, see above
      ‘5’ (it varies from speaker to speaker if the element “kajpo” may / has to
      be present); oɁɨtaˈtap: ‘(it) crossed, went over to the other side’
