The Muisca numerals were based on counting with fingers and toes. They had specific numbers from one to ten, yet for the numbers between eleven and nineteen they used "foot one" (11) to "foot nine" (19). The number 20 was the 'perfect' number for the Muisca which is visible in their <a href="/wiki/Muisca_calendar" title="Muisca calendar">calendar</a>. To calculate higher numbers than 20 they used multiples of their 'perfect' number; <i>gue-muyhica</i> would be "20 times 4", so 80. To describe "50" they used "20 times 2 plus 10"; <i>gue-bosa asaqui ubchihica</i>, transcribed from <i>guêboʒhas aſaqɣ hubchìhicâ</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-Lugo_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lugo-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In their <a href="/wiki/Muisca_calendar" title="Muisca calendar">calendar</a>, which was <a href="/wiki/Lunisolar" class="mw-redirect" title="Lunisolar">lunisolar</a>, they only counted from one to ten and twenty.
