Other comments: Karo or Kara Apo numeral systems are similar to that of the Hamer-Banna, but they have developed a decimal system now.

Noteː the word ʃii is a borrowed word from Amharic, ɗɪb seems borrowed from Afan Oromo. The Kara people call their language Kara Apo not Karo. The Kara language is tonal and tone marks will be added from further fieldwork. 

Karo is a South Omotic language spoken by about 2,400 speakers in the Debub (South) Omo Zone of the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People's Region in Ethiopia. Karo is described as being closely related to its neighbor, Hamer-Banna, with a lexical similarity of 81%,and is considered a dialect of Hamer by Blench (2006).
