Cubeo has a traditional counting goes up to 20. However, when I was eliciting numbers

(1981), the Cubeos told me that beyond 20 they just keep adding feet and toes. I never tried to write numbers beyond 20 because the Cubeos themselves don't use them. Above 20 they all use Spanish, and most of them use Spanish for all numbers. Older people were still using Cubeo for 1-4 20 years ago. I don't know if they use them now.
