Other comments: Isconahua or Iscobaquebu, Iskobákebo, Iskonawa with 82 ethnic population was an endangered language formerly lived in Loreto and Ucayali regions: Callaria river, Peru. This language has only few traditional words for numbers.
Reference sources (please list books or articles):
   The Isconahua are an isolated, endangered tribe of Peru. They have very little contact
   with outsiders and recent estimates suggest there are fewer than 100 speakers left.

    Additional notes about the counting system in this language: Speakers of Isconahua
   are said to speak Shipibo-Conibo as well. Their numerals for 1 and 2 also resemble
    Shipibo numerals 1 and 2, which are “huestiora” and “rabé”. However, number 3 in
    Isconahua “narabeëjëco” does not resemble the Shipibo number 3, “quimisha”.
