Other comments: South Giziga or Giziga has a decimal system. South Giziga numerals and North Giziga numerals are very similar. The number 8 ‘dàaŋɡàfáɗ' might be derived from ''2 x 4'', although 'dàa' and 'cúw' (2) don't have much in common. One or the other, or both, may be borrowed from Fula 'tati' (2).

South Giziga is an Afro-Asiatic language spoken in northern Cameroon by about 60,000 speakers.
