Other comments: Mobwa or Dermuha Karen is an undocumented Karenic language. Note that for number 10, actually, sʰei⁵⁴ˀ is 'ten' and kʰa²² is the classifier in that language. For Dermuha, it is from Bwe-Mopwa group and not same group as Paku. Paku is more like Sgaw. In Taungoo region in Myanmar, we have different Paku dialects according to the mountain where they live. There are four tones in Dermuhaː High tone v˥ (tone stick) / v⁵⁴ (tone numbers), Mid tone v˧  / v³², Low tone v˩ / v²²,  High glottal tone v˥ˀ / v⁵⁴ˀ

Other comments: Mobaw Karen has a decimal system. Mobaw Karen is spoken by about 4,000 speakers in 9 villages in Thandaung township, western foot of Thandaung mountains and some in Bago region: Taungoo township, Kayin state, Maymar. The data was taken from Blimaw “a dialect closely related to the Mobwa (Mopwa, Palaychi) group” Shintani Foreword). Only one village in the Thandaung area (Karen State, Myanmar). No village name.

Note: plo¹¹ and kha¹¹ are classifiers. It is interesting to note that multiples of 100 and 1,000 retain the numeral ‘one’ e.g. 200 =2x one-hundred, unlike other Karen languages.
