Other comments: Dii or Duru has a decimal system with a special form for the numbers  8 and 9. Note the resemblances of 2-4, 4-8. The number 9 kɛ́ɡdáɡá, is abbreviated from 'kéé naɡ dáɡá = one finger is left', the linker 'zʉʉ' means' go dow (to your toes), the word 'vo' means 'a bundle'. 100 and 1000 are Fulani loans. Dii or Duru is spoken approximately 50,000 speakers in Adamawa region: Vina division, Ngaoundéré subdivision, north and east of Ngaoundéré; North region: Mayo-Rey division, Tcholliré subdivision, Cameroon.
