Other comments: Itelmen only retained five traditional lower numerals, after five they use Russian loans. Old source ever recorded lesser reliable traditional numerals up to tenː 6. kelvuk, 7. etuktunuk, 8. čoˈoktunuk, 9. čaˈaktanak and 10. tovassa. Itelmen is not closely related to other Chukotko-Kamchatkan languages, and forms a distinct southern branch of the family. Some linguists have questioned whether it is related at all, treating it instead as a language isolate.
