combining form for numbers that have a sub-base of 5, e.g. chiucnahui = 9
Interestingly, mācuīlli (5), is not used in combinations that stand for 6 through 9. Richard Andrews suggests that chico- (chiuc- etc.) relate to the meaning "to one side," a "special form of the adverbialized nounstem." and "The compound stem therefore means something like 'the count on one hand (indicated by the matrix stem) with the addition of the full count of five already made on the other hand.'"
chicuacē = 6
chicōme = 7
chicuēyi = 8
chiucnāhui = 9
