At the next step there is a change in the method, or, as will be seen 
when the alternates are given, the regular method is abandoned and 
the second method of counting adopted. Thus, instead of saying for 
55 toua bi-chino=40+15, they say ce-caa quiona, or ce-caayo quiona= 
5from 60. The term guéona appears to be a variation of cayona, 60. 
55 ce-caa quiona, or ce-caayo quiona= 5 from 60. 
56 ce-caayo quiona-bi-tobi=5 from 60--1. 
The correctness of this interpretation seems to be confirmed by the 
alternate ce-tapacaca quizahachaa-cayona=4 from 60. 
57 ce-caayo quiona-bi-tobi=5 from 60+-2. 
The alternate in this case is 3 from 60, ete. 
60 cayona. 
61 cayona-bi-tobi=60+-1. 
So to 70. 
70 cayona-bi-chii=60-+10. 
71 cayona-bi-chii-bi-tobi=60+10+-1. 
So to 74. 
At the next step—75—the order changes as at 55, for, instead of say- 
ing cayona-bi-chii-bi-caache=60-+10-+ 5, they say ce-cad-tad, or ce-camyo- 
taa=5 from 80. 
75 ce-caayo-taa=5 from 80. 
76 ce-caayo-taa-bi-tobi=5 from 80-+-1, or ce-tapa-quizahachaa-taa=4 from 
80. 
So to 79. 
80 taa. 
81 taa-bi-tobi=80+1. 
90 taa-bi-chii=80-+-10. 
95 ce-caayo-quioa=5 from 100. 
96 ce-caayo-quioa-bi-tobi=5 from 100+1, or ce-tapa-quizahachaa-cayoa 
=4 from 100. 
100 cayoa. 
101 cayoa-bi-tobi=100+1. 
120 xopalal-le=6 20. 
121 xopalal-le-bi-tobi=120-+-1. 
130 xopalal-le-bi-chii=120-+-10. 
135 ce-caayo-caachelal-le=5 from 140. 
The rule given above is followed throughout. 
140 caachelal-le=7 20. 
150 caachelal-le-bi-chii=140-+-10. 
160 xoonolal-le=8 x 20. 
170 xoonolal-le-bi-chii=160-+-10. 
180 caalal-le=9 x 20, 
190 caalal-le-bi-chii=180+ 10. 
200 chiia=10X 20? 
210 chiia-bi-chii=200+-10. 
220 chiia-cal-le=200+-20. 
240 chiia-toua=200+40. 
260 chiia-cayona=200 +60,
