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.
