Other comments: Krikati-Timbira or Krikati-Gaviao is spoken by approximately 680 speakers in Maranhão state: Amarante municipality, Governador village. The above data were taken from variant of Timbira, Pykobjê-Gavião, from south of state of Maranhão (northeast of Brazil). In this linguistic variant of Timbira. what we could observe is that Pykobjê has just three cardinal numbers. The others ones are all taken from Portuguese, the closest language they have contact. Some words from numeral class suffer phonological adaptations, just like ‘1000’. About the ordinary number system, we could observe they are not in use, nowadays. All of them are borrowed from Portuguese.

Other comments: The above data were taken from variant of Timbira, Pykobjê-Gavião, from south of state of Maranhão (northeast of Brazil). In this linguistic variant of Timbira, there are only three numbers, above this, Gavião speakers use "many, a lot".

I know that they use also numbers from Portuguese: 4 (quatro), 5 (cinco) and others, but I don't know if there are phonological adaptations, because in my last researches

I didn't work with loanwords. I've been orientated a post-graduation student who will continue the study with this language, with word classes. She will be able to research this issue, about numeral system, in her fieldwork, that will be, probably, next July.
