Other comments: Yawuno Teneyo (also spelled Yona; Iteri is an endangered language

spoken in the West Range region, the Rocky Peak Mountains of East Sepik Province in Papua New Guinea with about 480 speakers. 

Laycock (1973.p.45) has a brief mention of a language "Yinibu' which is spoken in about six villages, one or more of which may be Iteri-speaking. Conrad and Dye (1975) discuss Iteri briefly and have a word list including some number data, but they do not list any Iteri-speaking villages other than Iteri itself (which does not appear under that name in the Census Units for the region). The number data from the Conrad and Dye word list are given in above table. Not sure if they are still using old traditional numbers or body tally after 4 or now use Tok Pisin numerals after 4. New data for numbers after 4 is required.
