Stoll® gives a method of counting above 40 in this idiom so different 
from that presented above that his brief notice is presented here: 
40 
50 
60 
70 
80 
90 

caunak=2 20 ?, or 2 men. 
caunak-t-iqui-lahoh=40+10.

ox-e’al-t-iqui-lahoh=60-+10. 
hu-much=1 80. 
hu-much-t-iqui-lahoh=80+10. 
1Salmeson gives t-oxkal, which is an evident error.
