Other comments: Munkip is spoken by approximately 200 speakers living near the north coast of the Huon Peninsula west of Wasu, Morobe province, Papua New Guinea. The counting data were recorded from Hiom village. This system employs tallying to a base of 20 and has three distinct numerals. There appears to have been some influence from the Timbe language, for example the use of olowu for 'three' and biknge for "half". The word to mean 'hand', while the expressions used from six to ten describe the tallying process.
