Other comments: Kimyal or Nalca is spoken by about 16,000 speakers in the eastern highlands north slopes of Papua province, Indonesia. The Kimyal or Nalca people has a numbering system goes up to 27 starting at the little finger of the left hand to the thumb, then the wrist, mid arm, at elbow joint, mid upper arm, shoulder, neck, ear, temple, top of head; then going down the right side at all those same places and ending with the little finger of the right hand. After that they count in multiples of 27’s. For example two 27’s, three 27’s etc. Each count of 27 is called a “deng”. So two “dengs” is two times twenty seven etc. When the number gets to beyond what they can count they say “deng, deng, deng ” which means lots!! |
