361 hun-ri-belehlahuhgqal=1 on the nineteenth score. 
So to 379. 
380 belehlahuh-qal=19 20. 
881 hun-r-omuch=1 on the 400, or 1 on the fifth much. 
So to 399. 
400 omuch=5>80, or 54> 20. 
401 omuch-hun=400+1. Ete. 
500 omuch-ogal=400+100. 
600 omuch-otuk=400 +200. 
700 omuch-olah, or omuch-olahuh-qal=400+15 x 20. 
720 omuch-vaklahuhgal=400-- 16 >< 20. 
780 omuch-belehlahuhqal=400-+-19> 20. 
At this point Brasseur remarks ;: ‘*From here onward they count 
from 400 to 4,000 with the term go, that is to say, 400, in this manner; 
cago, two times four hundred; and they begin to count from 781, 
hun-ri-cago, as if they said, one on (or toward) the eight hundred; 
cab-ri-cago, two on eight hundred.” 
It would seem, therefore, from this remark, that this change in the 
count commenced only with the last 20 required to make up the 800. 
But as soon as the count rose above 800 it was based on the 400 next 
above, that is to say, the third 400, thus: 
801 hun-r-oxogo=1 on the third 400. 
840 cavinak-r-oxogo=2 20 on the third 400. 
860 oxqal-r-oxogo=3 20 on the third 400. 
Brasseur gives as the equivalent of Awn-rovogo *‘es decir 399 para 
1200.” Though the term may indicate a number which is the same as 
1200—399, it certainly does not indicate any such process of obtaining 
thisnumber. The first number expressed is Av, or 1, and this is related 
in some way to 3400, or, the third 400. Brasseur’s explanation is 
therefore unsatisfactory. The count evidently proceeds in the same 
way as that of the minor numbers above the second score both inthe Maya 
and Quiche dialects, that is, 1, 2, etc., on the next higher score; here 
it is on the next higher go or 400. 
880 humuch-r-oxogo=80 on the third 400. 
900 oqal-r-oxogo=5 x 20 on the third 400. 
920 vakqal-r-oxogo=6 20 on the third 400. 
940 yukqal-r-oxogo=7 x 20 on the third 400. 
960 yahxakqal-r-oxdgo=8 x 20 on the third 400. 
980 belehgal-r-oxogo=9X 20 on the third 400, 
1,000 otuk-r-oxogo=5 X40 on the third 400. 
1,200 roxogo=3 > 400. 

Here the prefixed 7 (for 77) is retained for no apparent use unless 
possibly for euphony. 
1,600 cahgo=4>x 400. 
2,000 roogo, or rogo=5> 400. 
2,400 vakago—6 400. 
2,800 yukugo=7 400. 
8,000 otuk-vahxakgo=5 X40 on the eighth 400.
