Other comments: Edopi is spoken by about 1,500 speakers in southwest Mamberamo Raya and north Puncak regencies; Rouffaer river area, Papua province, Indonesia. Edopi only has three numbers. The word 'hoibei' means both there or more. Traditionally, they can use hands and feet to show numbers up to 20, but now they start to use the Indonesian numeral system, so the traditional numerals have been used together with Indonesian system.  The Edopi is the tonal language, but there is no minimal pairs in the numeral system, so the tone is not related to it.
