Other comments: Piratapuyo or Wanana-Pirá, Waíkana is spoken by approximately

1,300 speakers in Amazonas state: Terra Indígena Médio Rio Negro I, Terra Indígena Médio Rio Negro II, Terra Indígena Rio Negro, Terra Indígena Rio Téa, Brazil as well as Colombia. The counting system of Piratapuyo is very similar to Kotiria, I have given base forms for the number words for 1-4, which can also take animate/inanimate suffixes and the expression for 5. Although I have elicited the expressions that could be used for 6-10, these are no longer used in everyday speech. Even the expression for 5 is rare. Number words for 5 and above are borrowed from Portuguese or Spanish. The phonemic inventory is given below – it is similar, though smaller than the Kotiria inventory – morphemic nasalization works the same way.
