Here they are in Asian Eskimo (Chaplino dialect):

1 /atasiq/         6 /ag"winl@k/
2 /malg"uk/        7 /mag"rag"winl@k/
3 /piNajut/        8 /piNajun@N iNl;ul@k/
4 /stamat/         9 /staman@N iNl;ul@k/
5 /tas<lat>imat/  10 /qul;a/

And this is West Greenlandic:

1 _ataasiq_    6 _arvinillit_
2 _marluk_     7 _arvini(q)-marluk_
3 _pingasut_   8 _arvini(q)-pingasut_
4 _sisamat_    9 _qulingiluat_
5 _tallimat_  10 _qulit_
