The Carabayo or Macú tribe call themselves ''nʉkák'' or '' the people''. Their counting concept is very limited. They have the idea of 1, a pair (2), and lots. They also use their fingers (téi ) to show how many, but it isn't an exact numbers. They

are a very primitive tribe and have had no need to have exact numbers beyond a pair (2 ).
