Other comments: Nyakyusa has a decimal system with special numbers for 6 to 9.

There are options for numbers, 9,  19, 29. The  word  ' m̩fuːⁿdo ' is used for both

fists hold together, so ' m̩fuːⁿdo kɪmo' means something like ' both fists minus

one or 10 - 1' . The options for 19 and 29 are ' kaloːᵑɡo (na) tʰʊhaːno na  tʰʊna '

and ' amaloːᵑɡo mabɪlɪ (na) tʰʊhaːno na tʰʊna ', receptively.

Nyakyusa is an atonal Bantu language. In some situation, especially among younger

people, Swahili numbers might be mixed with the Nyakyusa numbers.
