Other comments: Kumiai or Kumeyaay or Jamul Tiipay is a moribund language spoken by approximately 440 speakers in Baja California state: Cañon de los Encinos, Ja’áa, La Huerta de los Indios, Rancho Nejí, San Antonio Nécua, and San José de la Zorra; mountains southeast of Tecate, Mexico as well as United States. Kumeyaay or Kumiai has a decimal system similar to that of Cocopa language, and the number 9 might be able to further analyzed. I am a little suspicious of the Kumeyaay report that  100 is tonak shin. I believe it should be shahuk shahuk (ten tens) as the Ko'alh consultant reported. "tonak" means "bundle"- both of them used it, but in different ways. People have not been using this counting system for very a century, so they are starting to become a little confused.
