Other comments: Traditionally, Umpila-Kuuku-Ya'u has three words for numbers. Mangku is rarely used. As far as I know, and I haven't explored it specifically, there is no evidence that there are variant numeral forms for any of the other dialects (Kaanju, Kuuku Yani etc.) in this dialect group. Please use Thompson 1988 as a citation for these forms.
