I agree we don't want {kancu}. We need something with {bacru}. I propose
{nacpoiba'u}.

{nacpoi} is "x1 is a sequence of numbers ordered by rules x2".

Then {nacpoiba'u} is "x1 utters a sequence of numbers ordered by rules x2".

{mi nacpoiba'u} would be "I count (in the usual order)".

        mi nacpoiba'u co'a li mu co'u li pano
        I count from five to ten.
