Other comments: Oksapmin is spoken by about 12,000 speakers in Sandaun province,

Southern Highlands province and Western province, Papua New Guinea. Oksapmin has a body tally system, moving from thumb to index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger, inner wrist, forearm, elbow, upper arm shoulder, side of neck, ear, eye, nose then down the other side to eye, ear, side of neck, shoulder, upper arm, elbow, forearm, inner wrist, little finger, ring finger, middle finger, index finger and thumb. The biggest number in this cycle is 27. That unit of once around the body is pu 'unit' (lit: ‘once around the body’)

The above represents the counting system. When it comes to referring to quantity, the following is used.

Robyn's data is from the 'lower dialect' of Oksapmin, whereas mine is from the 'upper' dialect'.

Note on number 'oneː the 'a' sound is in the parentheses is is because it may not be attached to the noun.

Other comments: Oksapmin has a body tally system, moving from thumb to index finger, middle finger, ring finger, little finger, inner wrist, forearm, elbow, upper arm shoulder, side of neck, ear, eye, nose, then to the other side and down to eye, ear, side of neck, shoulder, upper arm, elbow, forearm, inner wrist, little finger, ring finger, middle finger, index finger and thumb. The biggest unit is 27, or tit pu (lit: ‘the equivalent of once around the body)

Other numbers may by now have been incorporated into the counting system or loan words adapted which I am not aware of. By the time we left the language area (2005), pu ‘unit’ was commonly used to refer to a two kina note – a currency note worth 20 ten toea coins or 20 shillings in the old Australian currency.

Here is the practical orthography, along with their phonesː
a [a], a [ə], e [e], i [i], o [o], u [u], u [ʊ], ei [ei], p [p] / [β] /[pɸ], 
t [t], tw [tw], k [k], kw [kw], b [b] / [mb], d [d] /[nd], g [g] /[ŋg],
gw [gw], s [s]/[z], h [x]/[ɣ], hw [xw], m [m], n [n], ng [ŋ], y [y], w [w], r [ɾ]
