Comment:
Numerals may precede or follow the head depending on whether the reference is definite or indefinite. Numerals occur before the noun when the reference is indefinite, and after the noun when reference is definite (cf. Frank 1990:31) (see Cubeo (Tucanoan), and Chibchan languages of Costa Rica where definiteness correlates with the order of adjective/noun).
