Other comments: Mursi has a has a counting system based on twenty very similar to that of Suri. 20.  hírkón –  one person, any person derives from hírí + kon    Þ  litː a man + only one, 40. zuwo – lit. people (plural of hírí) , zuwo raman – lit. two people

few people pronounce [zuɡo], for the majority [w] is pronounced as approximant,

but I’ve also found pronunciation (especially in the younger speakers) with almost perfect consonant-deletion [zuo]

Not that High tone is marked [´]; Low tone unmarked.
