Other comments: Maiani or Tani is spoken in 23 villages which are situated in a region lying largely to the south of Hatzfeldthaven. The Tani system is a digit-tally one with a (5, 20) cyclic pattern or a (5, 10, 20) cyclic pattern (as given by W. Tranel 1952: some ethnographic and linguistic data of the 'Moando languages region'). The basic numeral set appears to be (1,2, 3,4, 5), the word 5, 'igur', not being the same as the word for 'hand', '-uwapo' or '-uapo'.  The numbers words from 6 to 9 have a '5+n' construction where 'n' takes the values 1 to 4 respectively. The word 'tavira' means 'other' or 'other hands, i.e. 'thumb, (completed, cut off'). Tally proceeds to 10, '5 + 5' (SIL data) or 'hand (s) two (completed, cut off), (CSQ informants), and then to 20, 'moato utua', i.e. 'man one' (the fingers and toes of one man). New data needed to compare with the old one.
