Other comments: Kire or Gire is spoken by approximately 2,500 speakers in ten villages (Z'graggen, 1975, p.34), situated on the eastern side of the Ramu River in the north-west of the Madang Province, Papua New Guinea. The Gire people possess both a body-part tally system and a 2-cycle numeral system. The Tally system, as given by Stanhope ( 1972, p.62) has a 26 cycle: 13 tally-points on the left side of the body and 13 on the right side being used. The tally-words employed are the names of the body-parts: Stanhope does not indicate whether the right-side tally-points are distinguished from the left-side ones. New data needed to compare with the old one.
