Other comments: Una is spoken by about 6,000 speakers in Langda, Bomela, and Sumtamon areas in east Weip and Yay valleys, Papua province, Indonesia. The traditional counting system of the Una people is based on the body parts. The Una people start counting from the little finger of their left hand. Via their left arm and shoulder and their ear they arrive at the top of their head, which is number 14. Then, from the top of their head they descent via their right ear, shoulder and arm to the little finger of their right hand, which is number 27. This is called one unit (ding tentok). When counting from 28 to 54, the Una people start from the little finger of their right hand. Only very occasionally they count numbers higher than that. Nowadays the Una people also use Indonesian words, especially the numbers higher than 14.

Note the following remarks:

1. In order to arrive at the names of the body parts the bound suffix -baryi (number)

    as in numbers from 4 onwards needs to be stripped off.

2. The word dina as in 15 to 24 means 'other side'.

3. The suffix -ba as in 25 to 27 is a shorten form (allomorph) of -baryi (number).
