Other comments: Ik is spoken by approximately 14,000 speakers in Dodoth county,

Kaabong district, Uganda. Ik has a quinary, vigesimal counting system. 6 is expressed by tudini ńda kɛɗɪ kɔn, literallyː 'and it's five and that one', 7 is expressed by tudini ńda kiɗi léɓetsᵉ, literallyː 'and it's five and those two', 11 is expressed by tomíní ńda nɛ́bɛɛ kɔn, literally, 'ten and a body(?) one', 12 is expressed by tomíní ńda ʝɪrɪnɪ léɓetsᵉ, literally, 'ten and the remains two', 16 is expressed by tomíní ńda ʝɪrɪnɪ túde ńda kɛɗɪ̀ kɔn, literally, ''ten and the remains five and that one', 20 is expressed by tómínékwa leɓétsᵉ, literally, 'ten-eye-two', 30, is 'ten-eye three'
Notesː

1. Numbers 1-9 are actually verbs with the ‘narrative/consecutive’ mood suffixes: -kɔ
for singular, and -ɪn for plural.

2. Ik vowels are devoiced before a pause. It is the convention in Ik studies to write
these voiceless vowels as a superscript

3. The word nɛ́bɛɛ may be historically related to the noun root nébù- ‘body’.

4. The Ik word for ‘hundred’ is from Swahili mia, and its word for ‘thousand’ is from
Swahili elfu.
