Other comments: Woun Meu or Waunana is spoken by approximately 10,000 speakers in Chocó department: middle and lower San Juan river banks, especially north of Buenaventura; some in Valle del Cauca, Colombia as well as Panama.

Woun Meu or Waunana has only preserved five traditional numbers, after five most everyone uses Spanish numbers. There was formerly a system of counting to twenty. The word ''dau'' is a generis categorizer, hua is ''hand'', ̈ is ''foot'', bʌ̈pir is ''toe'', and mor is ''body''. Thus the counting is simple based on fingers, hands, feet / toes, and bodies. Please note that the symbol (ʌ̈) is a slightly lower  than ''ʌ'' (between close-mid and close back unrounded vowels). The apostrophe (') as in 2 ''nu'mi'' is a stress mark.
