Other comments: Canela or Kanela is spoken by approximately 2,500 speakers in
Maranhão state. The Canela do have only 1 to 3 as numbers in their language; beginning with 4 they use a mixture of Canela “(cu)te” + Brazilian number (Portuguese), as mentioned in Jack Popjes and my e-mail. Over 10 usually they do not use their ''(cu)te'', they only do say the Brazilian numbers. The Canela like to cut the end-vowel. Canela-Language: Usually the end-syllable is stressed. (see: underlined.

Other comments: Canela or Kanela is spoken by approximately 2,500 speakers in
Maranhão state. Basically the most used system is thee wordsː pyxit, ipijakrut and incrê. The meaning of of pyxit is one, single. ipijakrut is two, a pair or double. And incrê is three or more, or multiple. Right now they are learning to count in Portuguese but aboriginals they used they fingers for counting specific numbers. The aboriginal counting way can up until about thirty. When exact numbers over twenty or so need to be counted and fingered, they use a stick and cut a notch for each numbers. This is the method constantly being used when dividing a large amount of meat or food among a large group of people. A notch is cut for everyone that needs to receive a piece of meat, then the animal is cut into as many pieces as there are notches in the stick.
