Other comments: Tal has a decimal numeral system. Notes for the numbers 6 to 9:

1. For 6 [pɨ̀mɛ́]; [mɛ́] means addition, so probably an addition on 5 = 6 (doesn’t make

much sense).

2. For 7 [mɛ́fɛ́imɛ́kúːn]; it's an addition of 4 and 3.

3. For 8. [pàːfɛ́i]; rather seems to be double of 4

4. For 9. [mɛ́ːpàː]; it's an addition on a 5.
