8000.

huaxic-xi = 8-1000.
The essentially vigesimal character of this system changes in the formation of some of the higher numerals, and a suspicion of the decimal enters.

One hundred is _boinic_, 5 men; but 200, instead of being simply _lahuh-inic_, 10 men, is _tsa-bo-inic_, 2 x 100, or more strictly, 2 times 5 men.
Similarly, 300 is 3 x 100, 400 is 4 x 100, etc.

The word for 1000 is simple instead of compound, and the thousands appear to be formed wholly on the decimal base.

A comparison of this scale with that of the Nahuatl shows how much inferior it is to the latter, both in simplicity and consistency.
