Other comments: Greenlandic Inuktitut has a traditional counting system based on the hands. 'Six' (arfinillit) means something like 'crossing over to the edge of the other hand', then 'seven' is '6-1', eight '6-2', etc. 11 aqqanillit (meaning roughly 'moving down there (to the feet)'), 16 arfersanillit (meaning roughly 'going across to the the other edge again'), 20 is either arfersaneq tallimat or inuk naallugu ('man finished'). Nowadays, traditional numbers until 10-12 are still used. Some old people / or very traditional Greenlanders can use the old system but it is not very usual. Modern Greenlanders usually (often) uses Danish numeral system.
