Other comments: Tembé, Tenetehara, Timbé, Turiwara is spoken by approximately 1,400 speakers in Pará state: Terra Indígena Alto Turiaçu, banks of Gurupi river.

Tembé people usually have numbers are just 1 and 2; 3 is known but not really frequently used (it means 'not (forming/having) a pair'); 4. is often not known and almost never used (it means 'it does form a pair'); 5 is understood and sometimes used but looks more like a nonce expression: 'your complete hand'. Other numbers can be concocted, but rather than doing that the Tembé use Portuguese numbers.
