Other comments: In MalakMalak, the basic number system is binary of yanak ‘one’ and werena ‘two’ with all other numerals deriving from those. The lexeme for ‘five’ (meaning ‘hand’) is very rarely heard in discourse, but is recognized by speakers. The numerals above ‘five’ I have never heard used, instead mutyurr ‘many’ is used.
