Other comments: Doloman or Mamaa is spoken by only 12 speakers at Mamaa village, west of Boana, Morobe province, Papua New Guinea. The counting data were obtained from village informants. The informants did not proceed further, although it is likely that the traditionally hands would be used as tallies. In the system described there are two numerals words.
