Other comments: Tay is spoken by approximately 1,000 speakers in Upper Aunjang, middle Asai, and Mjbl valleys, Madang province, Papua New Guinea.  Tay has a digit-tally system up to 100. The Tay and Kalam are languages in the same family, and the number system is one part that is almost identical between the two. The difference you see in the number 2 between Kalam and Tay is based on the fact that we analyzed the ɨ as a full phoneme, whereas Dr. Pawley analyzed it as a transitory filler between two contiguous consonants. The Tay use the same tally system that the Kalam use which you received from Dr. Pawley, with the fingers, up the arms, around the top of the torso. Somewhere in the past they quit using numbers past 20, I would guess sometime after the Australian government workers started coming into the region in the 1950's. 

Note that the Tay people rarely talked about numbers over 20. Here is some phonetic information:
*All voice stops and affricates are pre-nasalized at the same point of articulation
*All final voiceless stops are unreleased
*All final voiced stops are pre-nasalized, voiceless, and unreleased
*There is no aspiration on anything
*There are no glottals (including words starting with a vowel)
*The "l" is flapped
*The "p" at the beginning of a word is phonetically a bilabial voiceless fricative
