Other comments: Upper Napo Kichwa has a decimal systems similar to that of Northern Highland Quichua of Ecuador. Most Upper Napo Kichwa speakers use Spanish numbers beyond 10 in everyday speech now, but there is a strong language purity movement that's imposed top-down, which includes coining of new words, which presumably includes some of the lesser-used numbers.
