Other comments: Miahuatec Zapotec or Loxicha Zapotec has a vigesimal

Note that in this language, unlike in Coatec Zapotec, glottalization and tonal contrasts are mostly independent from one another. In Miahuatec, glottalized syllables also have a contrast between low or high tone.

Note also that /sen/ in ‘12’ is a loanword from Spanish ‘docena’.

For both languages here, but especially for Miahuatec, there are various forms of numbers, with different initial consonants. Numbers seem to be historically related to verbs in Zapotec and can be conjugated to various extents depending on the language. The forms cited here are the ones used as the equivalents of cardinal numbers, citation forms.

Besides the numbers asked for here, there are other multiples of seven used in ritual contexts ( numbers marked with an asterisk mark *), following the patterns observable above).

The form for ‘50’ is a bit suspicious, but in the dictionary we have it both in the entry and in the example sentence, so it’s probably right.
