Other comments: Khana or Kana, Ogoni is spoken by approximately 430,000 speakers in Akwa Ibom state: Oruk Anam LGA, Wiisoe village; Rivers state: Khana LGA, Nigeria.

Khana or Kana has a vigesimal numeral system with special forms for numbers 'seven' through 'nine', which were done by combing the verb ɛ̀rɛ̄ 'posses' with an appropriate basic cardinal number, beginning at 'two' up to 'four in a descendant order. Like most languages in Nigeria, there is a word for 400 'bóó'.
