Or should I use put comma after quotation mark? As in:

1. There are roughly 1000 different words for “water”, as well as for “louse”.

Answer 1

In American English, commas and periods always go inside quotation marks. See rule 4.

Also:

The American style places commas and periods inside the quotation marks, even if they are not in the original material. British style (more sensibly) places unquoted periods and commas outside the quotation marks. For all other punctuation, the British and American styles are in agreement: unless the punctuation is part of the quoted material, it goes outside the quotation marks.
