Other comments: Baibai, a further member of the Kwomtari Stock, Baibai Family (Wurm and Hattori, 1981, Map 6) is spoken in three villages (Laycock, 1973, p.43.) located in a region to the south of the Fas area and to the west of the Kwomtari region (see Map 3). The three villages listed by Laycock had a total population of 286 at the 1980 National Census (National Statistical Office, 1982). The only data obtained for Baibai derive from an SIL word list (undated) and these are given in the above Table.

    There is no discernible cyclic pattern in the few number words given in above table. The word for 5 is 'awayuwa' and this is not related to the word for 'hand', 'degi'. It is possible, therefore, that this is not a digit tally system but may possibly be a body-part tally one, the first few words given being the names of fingers. New data needed to compare with the old one.
