Other comments: Tobati or Yotafa has a tally system, there are missing terms after ten. Note that the second set of numbers were provided by Mark Donohue in 1998 and he said that the numbers after ten have been replaced by Indonesian now. Tobati is a nearly extinct language spoken by about 100 speakers (Wurm 2007) in Tobati and nearby few villages on Jayapura bay, Papua province, Indonesia.
