Other comments: Murik is spoken by approximately 1,200 speakers in seven villages (Laycock 1973, p.33) situated in the Murik Lakes region of the north-east coast of the mainland, East Sepik province, Papua New Guinea. The Murik system is a (5, 10) cyclic pattern and that whilst 20 may be expresses as 'nor abe', i.e. 'man one'. There appear to be six basic numeralsː 1 to 5, and 10. Neither 5 nor 10 are cognate with the word for 'hand', 'darin' or 'dalin'. The numbers for 6 to 9 have an 'x+n' construction where 'x' is batip', and 'n' takes the values 1 to 4 respectively. The numbers from 11 to 15 have a '10+n' construction where '10' is 'darabor ('dalabol') and 'n' takes the values 1 to 5. There is no appearance of a 'foot' morpheme in the construction of the numbers 11 to 20 and the only suggestion that the system may be a digit-tally one comes from the use of 'nor abe', i.e. 'man one' for 20. New data needed to compare with the old one.
