Other comments: Miship has a quinary, vigesimal system. The example of Miship numeral listed above reveals that to form tens the cardinal units are suffixed to the morpheme –sár “ten” and -po, for twenties up to thirty the cardinal units are suffixed to the morpheme - ya gurum “twenty” and kə, for forty up to ninety the cardinal units are suffixed to the morpheme yák gurum “forty” while, from hundred up to a million and above the cardinal units are suffixed to the morpheme ɗali “ hundred”. The most interesting issue observed with respect to the counting system of Miship is that all the cardinal with the exception of ten “sár” and first syllable of the form for forty and above “yák” which have high tones . All other cardinal constituents of the language have mid tones.
