Other comments: Yanesha' has developed a decimal system, however the native counting system is not being used much any more. Spanish numeral system is much commonly used. The numbers 8 and 9 appear to be a borrowing from Quechua "quanchis" (as said in the Cuzco dialect). While the grammar of Yanesha’ is typically Arawakan, the Yanesha’ lexicon shows an very remarkable import from the ancient Yaru dialect of Quechua I, spoken in the eastern Andes during the time of the Inca Empire before the Spanish conquest (Willem Adelaar 2006: 290). The Yanesha’ language is therefore a unique example of past contact between Andean and Amazonian peoples before colonization. I do not have any Yaru data on hand, but presumably its numerals would have been quite similar to the Cuzco dialect. Yaru is an extinct dialect of Quechua, once spoken near Yanesha territory. See attached figure of Quechua linguistic family, taken from the internet. Yaru is high-lighted in green. Anthropologist Richard Chase Smith also attests that Yanesha has substantial influence from Yunga (works not published yet). I need to look into that. Number 9. Please note that this numeral varies between [eskont] and [eskon]. It appears to be borrowed from Quechua "esqon" and the Yanesha may have added the final [t], unless the ancient Yaru speakers had the final [t] and it was borrowed that way, then simplified. Number 19. The last word can vary from [eskont] to [eskon] depending on the speaker. The information you provided on the form corresponds to the Yanesha orthography that was used between 1955-2009, invented by the SIL. When I first did fieldwork and wrote my thesis, they were still using this system, but it had many challenges: the SIL system did not account for some of the phonetic subleties of the language, and very importantly, Yanesha teachers had trouble getting those symbols on computers and using them in email. As of 2010, partly because of my own encouragement and the frustration of the bilingual teachers to produce teaching new materials on modern computers that are scattered throughout their region of the Amazon, they lobbied the Yanesha Federation to help them approve a new orthography. They also had a lot of help from Mary Ruth Wise, an SIL linguist who has worked with them since the 1950s, and has helped them tailor the changes.
I was helping the Yanesha people work on this topic between January and June 2010 and last I had heard, near the end of December, they were still in the process of approving the new alphabet, and arguing over certain symbols, so I think it is not fully decided upon yet. Please keep the old orthography for the time being and don't change it to the new one yet. Let me get in touch with one of my main informants to see if it has been finally approved before I send you the exact run-down of the numerals in the new orthography.
just to give you an idea of the proposed changes, here are numbers 1-10 in the new orthography, very similar to the old one, but with a few important changes.
1. patherr (palatalized consonants now are written with 'h' instead of tilde.

   This is to mimic Brazilian Portuguese).
2. epa
3. ma'pa
4. pa'tats
5. amnar
6. pechap
7. canc'herr ([ch] with umlaut over top of it has been replaced by [c'h]
8. posok (c replaced by k)
9. eskont / eskon
10. c'harra'  ([ch] with umlaut over top of it has been replaced by [c'h]
