Other comments: Tepo Krumen has a vigesimal system with special forms for numbers 6 to 9. Number 7 means exactly 'not / be/ there' (implicitː 'to complete ten'), 8 means 'not be two'. The 'wlɩ̀-ɩ in 40 and other higher numbers is the plural form of 'wlʊ̀'. The number 100 'hɔ̀trʊ̄' is a loan from English 'hundred' and 1000 'mɪ́lo' is a loan from French 'mille'. 2000 is mɪ́lō-wɪ̄ hɔ̃́ 'thousand-times-connective /two'. Note that there are two kinds of connectivesː 1st suffixed vowel carrying high tone, 2nd ā but it'sː suffixed vowel carrying mid tone. Tone marks: [v́]=high tone, [v̀]=low tone, [v̌]=Low-high tone. Tepo Krumen is spoken by approximately 28,000 speakers in Grabo and Tabou subprefectures, Bas-Sassandra district, Côte d'Ivoire.
