Other comments: Capanahua or Kapanawa, or Autonym: Nuquencaibo, is spoken with 100 speakers in 380 ethnic population in Loreto region: Tapiche-Buncuya rivers area, Peru. The Capanahua people have a traditional counting up to 'five'. They can go beyond that, up to twenty, with the native system. Some have adapted their system to accommodate the Quechua system because of they have had with Quechua speakers through the workers of early (1800) exploiters of forest products. Numbers 8, 9, 13, 14, 18 and 19 are, of course, a mixture of Capanahua and Quechua, the terms ''kimiša'' and ''čosko'' being Quechua. They are now using Quechua or Spanish numbers more often.
