Other comments: Eleme is spoken by approximately 58,000 speakers in Rivers state: Eleme LGA, Nigeria. Eleme has a vigesimal numeral system with special form for number 9. Like most languages in Nigeria, there is a word for 400 'òbó'. This is basically the work of the tlaea Chief D. N. Obele. It's basically the same as the earlier list, only that I had misspelled the word for 'one' in that list and had not included tones. Also, the tilde represents nasalization.
