Other comments: Cahungwarya or Hungworo or Hungwere has a decimal numeral system similar to that of Pongu. The numbers 8 seems derived from ''double four ''. The word for 1000 'íhɔ̄ŋɡʷa' literally means ''a calabash''. Note that the phonetic symbol [ t̼ ] as in numbers 3, 6 and 8 is a ''linguolabial t''=[t with a under ̼symbol]. The [t, d, s and z ] phonemes do not take full labialisation but rather a subscript [w] sound.
