Other comments: Murui Witoto or Central Witoto is spoken by approximately 1,000 speakers out of 12,000 ethnic population in Amazonas, Caquetá, and Putumayo departments: between Putumayo and Caquetá rivers, north of Porto Arturo, Colombia as well as Peru. Murui Huitoto has a counting system based on hand, fingers, foot and toes. There are other two options to express 11 to 14ː 11 was expressed by ''onollɨ naɡafebekuiro abɨ dakai eɨkai (uaìde), manes ''one toe plus both hands'' and ''onollɨ naɡafebekuiro abɨmo dahe''. There were two options to express 15ː they are 'onollɨ naɡafebekuiro abɨmo dabellɨ ' which means '' both hands plus one (other) appendage'' and ''onollɨ naɡafebekuiro abɨ eɨllɨ dabellɨ' which means'' both hands plus one foot, appendage''. 16 means 'both hands ( are finished), plus one toe on the other foot', there was another phrase 'onollɨ naɡafebekuiro abɨmo eɨllɨ enefebehimo dakalɨ (uaide)' to express 16, which means 'both hands plus one toe on the other foot' and 20 'onollɨ naɡafebellɨ fuite, onollɨ naɡafebellɨ hɨaì fuite' means ''both hands are finished, both feet are finished'', there was another phrase to express 20 ''onollɨ naɡafebe, eɨllɨ naɡafebe'' which means '' both hands, both feet. The word 'enefebellɨmo' means ''finger'', 'onollɨ' means ''hand'' and 'eɨllɨ' means ''foot''. However, none of the people were actually using these numbers now. Nowadays very few of the people even remember how to use them, Spanish numbers are used even the numbers from 1 to 5. |
