Other comments: Coos or Hanis is an extinct language (The last speaker, Martha Harney Johnson, died in 1972 (Mithun 1999), out of 150 ethnic population formerly spoken in south coast Oregon. Coos has a decimal system with special structure for numbers 6 to 9. The data was taken from Leo J. Frachtenberg's Coos Grammar (1914). Coos is an extinct language, the last known speaker of Hanis was Martha Johnson who died in 1972.  Note the following conversion between Frachtenberg was pre-phonemic symbols and IPA symbolsː His <q> is /q/, his <E> is schwa /ə/ rather than epsilon, his <t'> is glottalised t, his <c> is the first sound in English 'ship', his a-umlaut is /e:/, realized as a very low front vowel, i-circumflex is a very short i (bordering on a central vowel), and yes, L is a voiceless-l. Frachtenberg got as many numerals for Hanis as anyone did, and though we don't know 13-19, we can form them by analogy with -qtsi, but some speakers seem to have had a uvular X for -q in -wieq. The number for 100 meant ''a string of dentalium shells''.
