Other comments: Òɡè or Òwèn-Òɡè dialect of Ariɡidi language has a vigesimal system. Òɡè is a member of the Defoid sub-group of the Niger-Congo family (Brown and Ogilivie eds. 2009). The language is spoken by the Ògè people in Ògè in Òkè-Agbè, Àkókó North-west of Ondo state in Nigeria. Ògè shares boundary with Ò̩wò̩n-Àfá, Ò̩wò̩n-Ìdò, Ò̩wò̩n-Àjè, Òmuò-Èkìtì and Oyin. Ò̩wò̩n-Ògè occupies an area of about Twenty-two square kilometres, with an estimated population which ranges between 25,000 to 30,000 as part of Òkè-Àgbè put together at 60,000 to 70,000. The kingdom is structured into Quarters headed by respective Chiefs responsible to the Oba. Based on Capo’s (1989) classification, Ámgbe is a name proposed for the Northern Akokoid speech forms spoken in Arigidi, Oyín, Urò, Ìgáshí, and all of the four quarters in Òkè-Àgbè of which Ògè is one.

Notes:

1ː For number 21 [úgbɔ́rɔrɛ̀ɔlɔ]=20+1. just like we have it in Yoruba, where we

have Ení for 1 in counting and we have Ẹyọ̀kan or Ọ̀ọ̀kan as the the case may be for

one in some other cases. In this case in Ògè, úgbọ́rọékán is not appropriate.

2ː For the earlier versions of 70 [iyèrɛorĩ́da] and 90 [iyèrɛòrĩnɛ́] is something like

20 x 3+10=70 and 20 x 4+10=90. But the ones given now are the most

appropriate.
