Other comments: Bandjalang or Gidabal has only two words for numbers 1 to 2. The first set is from Yugambeh dialect of Yugambeh-Budjalung and the second is from Tabulam dialect. As shown in the Yugambeh and Bundjalung stuff, terms and phrases for 1, 2, 3 and 4 are common, and some use the word for hand for five. I do know there were some that used body positions from fingers on one hand , up to the shoulder and across and down the other side for counting turtle eggs (my vague recollection is that those counted to 17). But also it's a valid observation I think, made by John Rutter, and certainly in the various glosses I have in Ngalia and Wangkatja, the words commonly used for numbers have a primary different meaning: one  single, alone, a different one, two a couple (e.g. married couple 3 a family). Notes: Practical orthographies used throughout. /r/ is a flap, tended to a trill word finally, /b/ is a lenis voiced bilabial stop, after /y/ /a/ is more like IPA æ, /ng/ is the velar nasal.
