is apparently some error in the names for 30, 40, and 60. 
The term asaqguy is merely to indicate addition: ** asaguy, que quiere 
decir, i mas, con el nombre de las unidades.” As gite bozas asaquy ata 
denotes 41, the name for 40 should be giie bozas=20X2, as 100 is 
denoted by gite hizea=20*5. The proper term for 30 is probably 
giietas asaquy ubchihica (or ghicha)=20-+-10.
