In the Mbocobi dialect of this language the only native numerals are _yna tvak_, 1, and _yfioaca_, 2.

The Puris[22] count _omi_, 1, _curiri_, 2, _prica_, many; and the Botocudos[23] _mokenam_, 1, _uruhu_, many.

The Fuegans,[24] supposed to have been able at one time to count to 10, have but three numerals,--_kaoueli_, 1, _compaipi_, 2, _maten_, 3.

The Campas of Peru[25] possess only three separate words for the expression of number,--_patrio_, 1, _pitteni_, 2, _mahuani_, 3.

Above 3 they proceed by combinations, as 1 and 3 for 4, 1 and 1 and 3 for 5.
