Other comments: Chambri is spoken by approximately 800 marsh dwellers in east and north of Sepik Hill area, southeast shore and Chambri lake island, East Sepik province, Papua New Guinea. The Chambri system is a digit-tally one with several interesting features. First there are six basic numeralsː 1,'biam' or 'biamp'; 2, pri'; 3, 'piaram', 4. 'iram'; 5, 'ses', and 6,'umir' or 'wumir''. Of these, 3 seems somewhat like a curios amalgam of 2 and 4. The 5, 'ses', is not cognate with the word for 'hand' although the CSQ informant indicates that 7 and 8 may be translated respectively as 'hand+2' and hand numerals. The numeral 6, 'umir', does not have a 'hand+1' construction but is a distinct numeral. The numeral 9 does not have a 'hand 4' construction but is a combination of the numerals 4 and 5ː 'iram ses'. There is a distinct numeral 10, 'tuburi' or tibutri', and this, too, does not contain a 'hand morpheme'. After 10, tally continues on the toes and the numbers words for 11 to 19 contain a 'leg' morpheme 'namangginn ' or namankin'. The world for 20 is 'noran', i.e. 'man' or 'one man. This appears in the constriction of all number words up to 39,; 40 is 'nimp', given by the CSQ informant as 'two men. New data needed to compare with the old one.
