The above data were taken from the Palimtheli dialect of Yanomami. Basically the people of this language use their fingers to count. 4 can be expressed by either ''polakae kýk ai polakae kýk'', which means ''two and another two'' or ''moni imik xahomae moni imi'', which means ''all the fingers on one hand hiding the thumb''. The word ''wanoho'' simple means many and often they will tap their fingers or hands together to give an idea of how many. Thus one tap or clap would be 10, two 20, three 30, four 40, five 50 etc. Or they would say, "all the fingers and all the toes of five people" for 100 "All the fingers and all the toes of ten men"  for 200 thus all the fingers and all the toes of 50 men for 1000. As you can see that will not  fit on your chart and you can understand why Portuguese numerals have been taught in the school and the present generation is using them and understanding them.  But when I want some bananas, and ask for "moni" I can expect to get one hand of bananas or maybe two.  In other words, "moni" can be relative, or few in contrast to "wanoho" which is many and likewise very relative.
