Other comments: Imyan Tehit has a counting system based on twenty with a five-base substructure. The numbers ''three'' and ''four'' might be loanwords from Austronesian. The word 'teit' in 11 to 19 means 'leg' and 'wna' in 21 to 29 means 'hand' and 'whri 'means 'add'. 20 is expressed by 'person one die'. Tehit is spoken by approximately

10, 000 speakers in several villages in southwest Bird’s Head, West Papua province.
