Other comments: Urim is spoken by approximately 4,000 speakers in Maprik subdistrict, East Sepik province and Nuku subdistrict, Sandaun province, Papua New Guinea. The Urim counting system is a finger-and-toe tally system with three numerals. The numerals 5, 10, 15, 100, 105, 110, 200... 415) are tally-directions which contain phrases with names of body parts but no numerals. The words used in the phrases are: hand, leg, person, other, whole, plus, over. e.g. 115 'kɑmɑl wɑmbomis wɑmbomis yikakwomis means 'person hand-other- whole-hand-hand leg-other-whole. All other numerals are combinations of tally directions and numerals. e.g. 8 wɑmbomis wɑmbom wɾau.r means 'hand-other-whole hand-other three. There are three basic numerals 1, 2, and 3, The tally-direction for 5 means 'whole other hand' and for 10 'hand-hand' 15 'hand-hand whole-other-leg'. 20 is 'one person'. The system has a modified (2, 5, 20 ) cyclic structure. Tallying begin on the little finger of the left hand.
