Other comments: Bench or Gimira has a decimal numeral system. There are five level tones in this language; tone mark 1 is the lowest, 2-3 is a glide. 20, 30, etc. are formed by adding [tàm] "ten" (with tone change) to the unit. In compound numbers, [-á] is added to each 'figure, thus: 13 [ta̋má kázá], 236 [nám bǎlá kāztàmá sàpm̄á]
Bench, formerly called Gimir, is a Northern Omotic language of the "Gimojan" subgroup, spoken by about 174,000 people (in 1998) in the Bench Maji Zone of the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region, in southern Ethiopia, around the towns of Mizan Teferi and Shewa Gimira. In a 2006 dissertation, Christian Rapold described three varieties of Bench (Benchnon, Shenon, and Mernon) as "...mutually intelligible...varieties of one and the same language".
