Other comments: Oko-Eni-Osayen or Oko is spoken by approximately 39,000 speakers in Edo state: Akoko-Edo LGA; Kogi state: Okene LGA, Magongo and Ogori towns, Nigeria. Oko-Eni-Osayen or Oko has a numeral system based of twenty, but the actual counting is done in tens. The numbers '6', '7' and '9' are derived by compounding. The number 'seven' includes an unidentified morpheme úfɔ́m and the morpheme bɔ̀rɛ̀ 'two', the number 'nine' is derived from 'ten is less than one' [úbá-ɔ̀ɔ́rɛ è ɡúlé ɛ̀fɔ]. The numeral ɔ́ɡ͡bɔlɔ '20' consist of a simple root. Numerals such as 40, 60, 100 are derived by attaching the i-pre-root to ɛ̀bɔ̀rɛ̀ '2', ɛ̀ta '3' and ùpì '5'. However, the numeral 80 may be different, and has been assumed that the pre-root vowel í-multiplies any given root by twenty. Numerals ífupi '400', àkàta '600' and ífúrúfɔ́ '800' comprise of their respective stems, while numerals ɛparɛkìípi '300', 'ífupikìípi' 500, àkàtakìípi '700', and ífúrúfɔ́kìípi '900' are derived by compounding the root ípì '100.
