Other comments: Abom has only two words as numbers. The data is in phonemic form. The Abom language is moribund, and there are only 3 speakers left in Tapila village, Western province, Papua New Guinea. They are very old, and it has been a long time since they spoke the language. Lexical and grammatical elicitation were challenging, and I was only with them for a few days. If I work with them in the future and collect more data on numbers, I will let you know. |
