Other comments: Thompson  or Nklapmx, Nle’kepmxcín, Thompson Salish is a moribund language spoken by 130 speakers only out of 6,300 ethnic population in British Columbia province: Fraser River north of Yale, lower Thompson River and tributaries, Canada. The contemporary Thompson has a decimal system. The word for number 'nine' is a compound of -təm 'lack' with -péyeʔ 'one (and the compounding connective -ɬ)ː təmɬpéyeʔ  'lacking one (from ten). The material suggests an archaic system based on four, overlain by later decimal system.
