Other comments: Suyá or Kisêdjê, Mẽkisêdjê, is spoken by approximately 410 speakers in Mato Grosso state: Xingú Park, headwaters of Rio Culuene; Pará state: Terra Indígena Capoto or Jarina reservation, Kayapó villages.

I only have the Kĩsêdjê (Suyá) numbers from 1 till 5. I am not sure whether they just don't bother to count more than that, or if the Portuguese numbers has come to supplant an older indigenous system. I also couldn't work out the words that constitute some of them, so no glosses here.
