Other comments: Kuruáya is a recently extinct language related to the Mundurukú

(the sister language) of Tupi Stock, spoken in the State of Pará, Xingú Region, North of Brazil. The last fluent speakers died in 2010 (Picanço 2010) out of 115-130 ethnic population. I only have number words for 1, 2, 3 and 5, but Emilie Snethlage and E. Heinrich Snethlage, from 1932. They have a bigger list of Kuruaya numbers in there (p.78-79). I tried to collect them all when I worked with the last speakers, but they didn't recognise any of those words. It's a bit weird that they had all those numbers, especially because Mundurukú (the sister language) only has words for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10.
