Other comments: Fuyug is spoken by approximately 14,000 speakers in Goilala distric,
Central province as well as Oro province, Papua New Guinea. The data displays that Fuyug has a base-2 system, but Williamson (1912) published a counting (tallying) system of the Mafulu used a counting system up to twenty used before. The word 'mĩndɑ̃n' means 'another', so that the numeral 3 means 'two and another'.
