Other comments: Tepo Krumen has a vigesimal system with special substructure for

numbers 6 to 9. Number 7 means exactly 'not / be/ there' (implicitː 'to complete ten'),

8 means 'not be two'. The 'wlɪ̀' in 40 and other higher numbers is the plural form

of 'wlʊ̀'.  The number 100 'hɔ̀trʊ̄' is a loan from English 'hundred' and 1000 'mɪ́lo'

is a loan from French 'mille'. 2000 is mɪ́lō-wɪ̄ hɔ̃́  'thousand-times-connective /two'.

Note that there are two kinds of connectivesː 1st suffixed vowel carrying high tone,

2nd ā but it'sː suffixed vowel carrying mid tone.

Tone marks: [v́] = high tone, [v̀] = low tone,  [v̌] = Low-high tone.
