Noteː

*)  Free variantsː

**) The first form of these strings occur before words beginning with two consonants,

     the second in combination with personal pronouns, e.g. hit teun kit ' the three of us

     (incl.)', sin hiut sin 'the seven of them', hi faɔn ki ' the eight of you'.

     The third and fourth form occur before a pause, the one with the voiceless vowel

     occur only in slow and careful speech, and more typically with older speakers than

     younger ones.

     Stress falls in all listed numerals on the penultimate syllable of the roots.

  For the consonant and vowel system (from Floribertha Lake and Hein Steinhauer,

  forthcoming, A Grammar of Dawan ) p.t.o.
