Other comments: Moro is spoken by approximately
72,000 speakers in Moro hills, Moro has a counting system based on five as below (The above data is from dialect is Thetogovela (identified as Umm Gabralla or Toberelda in Ethnologue). 1. gónto 2. lə́gə́ʧan 3. lə́gɪ́ʧɪn 4. márlon 5. ðénə́ŋ The numbers 1-3 inflect for noun class, but 4-5 do not, as shown by the initial consonant of the numeral in the following examples. The number follows the noun.
The numbers 6-9 are formed by adding 1-4 to base 5, joined with n(ə)- 'and'. Note that n(ə)- cannot appear before the numerals 2 and 3 as they begin with [l], a general ban on [nl] sequence. None of these numbers inflects for noun class: ɲerá ðénə́ŋ nəgónto ‘six girls’ 6. ðénə́ŋ nəgónto 7. ðénə́ŋ ↓lə́gə́ʧan 8. ðénə́ŋ ↓lə́gɪ́ʧɪn 9. ðénə́ŋ nəmárlon The cardinal numbers 11-19 are formed by adding 1-9 to 10, joined with nə- 'and'. Neither 10 nor 11-19 inflect for noun class, ex. lə̀ʤí rɛ́θ ‘ten people’. (The word for ten rɛ́θ is the same as ‘clothing’, as is the plural form: ndréθ).
