Other comments: Mansi has a decimal numeral system with special formations for 21 to 29, which are formed not in a additive way but means literally '1 toward 30'', and 40, 50, 60 can be analyzed as (4, 5, 6 + -pan ~ man?) but 80 and 90 used a different way, and the number 100 is exactly the same numeral as for 7. Because I don't know what the first parts of these - "nʲol" and "oːntəl" - exactly mean. I suspect they mean something like "without 2" and "without 1", like in Finnish, where "kahdeksan" '8' has the root "kahde-" '2', and "yhdeksän" '9' has the root "yhde-" '1'. The problem is that in Mansi "nʲol" and "oːntəl" do not seem to be similar to "kit(iɣ)" or "akʷa"... That's why i've added the question mark to these translations, but maybe you could provide some information below the table, for example: "Numerals "8", "9", "80", "90" are compound numerals. I don't know what is the exact meaning of the first component - "nʲol" or "oːntəl" - but the structural meaning of the whole compounds could be described as follows:
"Two units* (
nʲol) or one unit* (oːntəl) lacking to the completion of a higher order unit - be it ten (low) or hundred (saːt).
*Note that the "unit" may be a unit (for numerals 8 and 9) or a ten (for numerals 80 and 90), so "nʲolsa:t"
means 80 (2 tens lacking to the completion of a hundred, 100-20) and not *98 (100-2)." Another thing is with 100, saːt (it's exactly the same numerals as 7) It could be added, that: A word "janıɣ" 'big' could be added before this numeral to disambiguate it from 7. janıɣ 'big' + sa:t '7' = 'the big seven'. Mansi is spoken by approximately 1,350 out of 12,000 Ethnic population in Sverdlovsk province; between Ural and Ob rivers, Khanty-Mansi autonomous district, Russian Federation.
