The three dialects of the Guaycuru stock above given show considerable
diversity. The first is from Castelnau, the second from Fontana, the
third (Toba) from Carranza and de Angelis. The Payagua is also from
Fontana (_Revista de la Soc. Geog. Argentina_, 1887, p. 352, sq.).
All the Chaco tribes are singularly defective in numeration. Pelleschi
says that intelligent chiefs among them cannot count the fingers of one
hand. Above the two numerals are generally compound words and have not
fixed forms.
