Other comments: Leipon has a decimal counting system with special structure for numerals 7 to 9. Like many Leipon nouns, the word for hand is possessive. It is numo (my hand), nimem (your hand), nimen (his/her hand), etc. So the root is nime-, with a derivation for first person. Leipon is spoken by about 1,300 speakers in Lolo village, Hauwai, Ndrilo, and Pityilu islands, Manus province, Papua New Guinea. |
