Other comments: Naro or Nharon, ǁAikwe spoken by approximately 20,000 speakers in Ghanzi district: Bere, Dekar, Charles Hill, East Hanahai, Ghanzi, Grootelaagte, New Kanagas, Tshobokwane and West Hanahai commercial farms; North West district, Botswana as well as Namibia. Naro, like most Khoisan languages, has a few numbers, nowadays from 4 upwards, the English cardinals are used (with some slight phonological adaptations), although some people claim they count in Nama (Khoekhoegowab) from 4-10. But it is very hard to find someone who knows any number between 4 and 10 without having to go through the whole series. The symbol 'ǀ' is a dental click, 'ǃ' a (post) alveolar lateral click and 'ǁ' an alveolar click.
