Other comments: Jowulu or Jo has a vigesimal system with peculiar constructions for 6 to 9.  The word 'yaa' means 'rope'. There is a word 'kɔli', which means 'attachment' (of Cauris shells) and originally means '400', so 1000 is expressed by 'attachment 2 and rope 10' (800+200). Jowulu or Jo, Samogho is spoken in Sikasso region: Kadiolo circle, Loulouni commune, 12 villages  the southernmost Mali in Burkina Faso border, as well as Burkina Faso.
