Other comments: There are four basic numerals in Tauya. Numerals from five to ten are expressed as relative clause which make reference to counting on the fingers of 'one' hands. In the numerals given above, wesaʔa 'half', refers counting on the fingers of the second hand. The numbers from 5 to 10 do not appear to be in general use; they are known only by some of the older speakers, Any quantity above '10' is expressed as moʔotu 'many.
