Other comments: Wichita is an extinct language (The last speaker, Doris Jean Lamar-McLemore, died in 2016), out of 2,100 ethnic population, formerly spoken in

Anadarko, Caddo county, Oklahoma, United States. Wichita has a decimal system, but it's pretty obvious that the numbers 6-8 are based on kiya + one, two, three.  There is nothing else in my data that would help figure out where the "kiya" comes from, and numbers after 28 have not been recorded. 11 means 'ten with one on top (kitaki 'for a singular object to lie on top), 12 means 'ten with two on top (careːsʔi 'for a plural object to lie on top), 20 has two free variantsː -ksiʔi is a verb root meaning 'to be twenty 'ʔass hakiːcksiʔih; ʔari is a verb root meaning 'to be this quantity' wic hakiʔiskhiriʔawaːsʔarih , and is used for counting anything. Traditional phonetic symbolsː  /c/ = IPA [ts],  /h/ = aspiration, /ː / = length, /ːː / =double long, / v́ / =high pitch.
