Other comments: Orya has a simple system of counting. More than 5 or 10 are just “beyana” (many). It is possible to say “aha-ere taha tap lik gul irin aha-en” (=6) =one hand finished and add one (on the other hand). Fingers counted, by the way, go to the down position. Fingers extended are not counted. Counting begins with the little finger. They use Indonesian now, not just because of that being the dominant language, but because they are required to deal with more numbers than the time before much contact. Note thatː ë = IPA [ə]. Orya is spoken by about 1,600 (1985 P. Fields) in Jayapura and Sarmi regencies, Papua province, Indonesia.
