comment

Old Tupi only had names for numbers up to four, with circumlocutions or borrowings from Portuguese being used for bigger quantities. In spoken language, it was common to say (“like this”) and show the wanted number with the fingers.

Eduardo de Almeida Navarro (1998), chapter 7, in Método Moderno de Tupi Antigo: a língua do Brasil dos primeiros séculos, 3 edition, São Paulo: Global Editora, published 2005, Os numerais, page 96

Also (hapax legomenon) ikombó 'five' from ikó 'this' +‎ mbó 'hand' Jean de Léry (1578), chapter 20, in Histoire d'un voyage fait en la terre du Bresil, autrement dite Amerique, La Rochelle: Antoine Chuppin, page 342:
