Other comments: Lacandon or Jach-t’aan, Maya Lacandón is spoken by approximately 700 speakers in Chiapas state: Betel, Lacanjá San Quintín, Lake Metzaboc, Metzaboc, Najá, Mexico.Lacandon has a vigesimal system. The above data is from northern dialect of Lacandon. The northern group counted from one to twenty by actually indicating the ten fingers and the ten toes as follows: (Note: the Lacandóns do not consider the thumb a finger.) Numbers greater than twenty are based on “winik”(man). This system made it possible to count up to 400 as follows:

30 juntur winik kaꞌ buj kꞌʌb, 40. kaꞌtur winik lit.: 2 men,
60. ox tur winik lit.: 3 men, 80. rʌj tu nup yʌn winik lit.: 4 men,
100. jum buj kꞌab winik lit.: one hand of men, i.e. 5 x 20,
200. kaꞌ buj kꞌʌb winik lit.: 2 handsful of men,
200. jum buj ok winik lit.: 1 foot man,
300. kaꞌ buj kꞌʌb jum buj ok winik lit.: 2 handsful and 1 foot of men,
400. kaꞌ buj kꞌʌn kaꞌ buj ok winik lit.: 2 handsful and 2 feet of men

The cardinal numbers that are used in Lacandon Lacanjá dialect (in the southern area) are as follows:
1 tuririꞌ, tururiꞌ
2 kaꞌturoꞌ
3 mʌnʌꞌu nup (lit: it does not meet of fingers)
4 rʌ yʌn u nup (lit: it all meets of fingers [excluding thumb]
4 or more ja’ap (many)
Kaj bin man Bor, kaj u yiraj turiꞌ (1 plus classifier) quitam.
When Bor went hunting, then he saw one collared pecarry.
Ujer qꞌuin Bor tu yiraj kaꞌtur (suffix is same as root for 1) kꞌambur.
Another day, Bor saw two faisan.
Kaj kꞌa bin bor kaj u yiraj oxtur kos.
When he went again, he saw three cojolites (wild turkeys).
Chen kaj bin Chan Kꞌin man rajiꞌtu yiraj yʌn u nup chꞌachoꞌ.
But when Chan Kꞌan went hunting, he saw four parrots.
The cardinal numbers up to three or four may be combined with a classifier suffix in counting various articles. There are limited number of these suffixes and they are falling into disuse even at Najá. For example, in the phrase ca’ cur chun che’ two tree trunks, cur is the classifier to count something extra large as mountains, trees, etc.

Note: yʌn u nup literally is there are companions.
