Other comments: Yucuna or Matapí, Yukuna is spoken by approximately 770 speakers out of 1,500 ethnic population in Amazonas department: Puerto Santander municipality, 3 enclaves; Ararcuara, La Pedrera on lower Caquetá, Leticia, Mirití-Paraná; Caqueta department: part of westernmost enclave, Colombia. Yucuna has traditional counting based on 20, they can count up to 100 by this way. Note that the words 'wexi kele' in number three; 'wexi is the Yucuna word for a baked clay prop for placing undernearth cooking pots. There are used, sometime they'll substitute a stone; 'kele' means 'this'. There are no tones in Yucuna, only accent with the same rule as in Spanish which means when the accent falls on the second to last syllable it is not marked. Please note that the traditional phonetic symbol 'j' is = IPA [x].
