Other comments: The data given above shows two number systems for Opo (a.k.a. Tʼapo, Opuuo) [lgn], specifically from the Bilugu dialect of Ethiopia. The "Original System" below is used by the older generation who grew up uneducated and the "New System" used by the younger educated generation and is promoted in school. The original system clearly uses a base-5 / base-20 system built on the concepts of hand and body. For example, full hand amounts to 5, double hand amounts to 10, the body of one man amounts to 20, the body of two men to 40, and so forth. The concept of body here probably refers to the twenty digits of hands and feet.

In the New System, however, speakers have reinterpreted the body concept in a base-10 system. Thus, while still using hand for 5 and double hand for 10, they use the body of two men for 20, the body of three men for 30, and so forth. This is so that the number of bodies being spoken of corresponds with western written numerals 20/30/40/50/60/70/80/90.

Note also that the numbers 1 and 6 have contracted forms (shown in the "alternative" column), and that any complex number formed using these cardinal numbers may also employ the contraction. Thus, for example, 60 can be the uncontracted form /ɛ̄sɪ́bɪ̀kʰānɪ́ɗjān/ or the contracted form /ɛ̄sɪ́bɪ̀kʰánɗɛ̄/, though only the former is listed in the chart.

The element /kʰān/ in numbers 6-9 (and all subsequent complex numbers employing these) is here glossed 'five', but I am unsure of its actual meaning or etymology. It is possibly a greatly reduced form of /kʼʊ̄y-ɪ́n/ 'hand-3n.poss', but so far there is no evidence for this beyond speculation, and native speakers certainly no longer parse it as anything but 'five'.

This paper employs the following abbreviations for glosses: asc 'associative' (used to gloss the associative H tone, sometimes found with an epenthetic vowel /-ɪ́/), source 'locative/source marker', 3n.poss 'third person neuter possessive', com 'comitative', sg.m 'singular masculine', pl 'plural', and ord 'ordinalizer'.

Finally, note three phonological phenomena occurring in these data. First, the plural participant nominalizing prefix /bɪ̀-/ and ordinalizer prefix /ɪ̄-/ will assimilate a [+ATR] feature before a root with a [+ATR] vowel (e.g. */bɪ̀-mùtʰa̋/ à /bì-mùtʰa̋/). Second, the source prefix /à-/, which lexically bears a L tone, undergoes tonal leveling when occurring between two M tones (e.g. */kʼʊ̄j-à-sʊ̄kʼɛ́n/ à /kʼʊ̄j-ā-sʊ̄kʼɛ́n/). Third, the borrowed lexme /kúr/ 'hundred' takes an alternate stem /kɔ̞́r/ when higher than one-hundred (e.g. /kúr ɗjān/ 'one-hundred', but /kɔ̞́r sʊ̄kʼá/ 'two-hundred').

The "Original Tʼapo (Opuuo) System" used by the older generation who grew up uneducated and the "New System" used by the younger educated generation. The original system clearly uses a base-5 / base-20 system built on the concepts of "hand" and "body". For example "full hand" amounts to 5, "double hand" amounts to 10, "the body of one man" amounts to 20, "the body of two men" to 40, and so forth. The concept of "body" here probably refers to the twenty digits of hands and feet.

The data given below shows the new number systems for Tʼapo (Opuuo). In the New System, speakers have reinterpreted the "body" concept in a base-10 system. Thus, while still using "hand" for 5 and "double hand" for 10, they use "the body of two men" for 20, "the body of three men" for 30, and so forth. This is so that the number of "bodies" being spoken of corresponds with western written numeral 20/30/40/50/60/70/80/90.
Note also that the numbers 1 and 6 have contracted forms (shown in the "alternative" column), and that any complex number formed using these cardinal numbers may also employ the contraction. Thus, for example, 60 can be the uncontracted /ɛ̄sɪ́bìkānɪ́dʼyān/ or the contracted /ɛ̄sɪ́bìkándʼɛ̄/, though only the former is listed in the chart.
This paper employs the following abbreviations for glosses: ASC 'associative' (used to gloss the associative H tone, sometimes found with an epenthetic vowel /-ɪ́/), LOC 'locative/source', 3N.POSS 'third person neuter possessive', COM 'comitative', SG.M 'singular masculine actor prefix', PL 'plural actor prefix', and ORD 'ordinalizer'.
