Other comments: Makha or Kwe-Nee-Chee-Aht, Kweedishchaaht, qʷi·qʷi·diččaq is an extinct language (The last fluent speaker, Ruth Claplanhoo, died in 2002) out of 2,200 ethnic population formerly spoken in Washington: Neah Bay on northern tip of Olympic Peninsula, opposite Vancouver Island. Makah has a vigesimal system with special structures for 8 and 9. Two of the forms, 200 and 2000, are not recorded in the materials I have at hand. Makah is now extinct, so unless the forms turn up in materials I have not yet looked at, they are lost. I have included the form for 200 from the closely related sister language Nuuchahnulth (also known as Nootka), as recorded in Sapir and Swadesh (1939 Nootka Texts. In Nuuchahnulth we find 200 is literally "two times one hundred" (the -p'it suffix means '... times', as in "I did it two times"). The same suffix exists in Makah, so the Nuuchahnulth form would certainly be intelligible in Makah (the languages are really very closely related, something like the difference between Italian and Spanish, a little farther apart maybe). In the same text volume, the Nuuchahnulth form for 2000 is two times "taawisin" with a borrowed word for "thousand". Please note that the following conversions between Americanist phonetic notation and IPAː

1. c=IPA [ts], 2. c̉ =IPA [tsʼ], ejective ts, 3. č̉=IPA [tʃʼ], ejective tʃ, 4. y=IPA [j], 5. š=IPA [ʃ], 6. x̣ =IPA [χ], 7. p̉ =IPA [pʼ], ejective p.
