Other comments: I only have limited data on Yei numerals, from a brief fieldtrip I made there in 2008. The numerals I have (from Poo village – the dialects vary quite a lot but I don't have good data on the others), So: no evidence of senary, looks like basic quinary (tir means 'hand'; I don't know what the -u is) and very basic two-based numerals. Yei is spoken by about 1,280 (Evans et al 2018) in Merauke regency, 6 villages in south coast area, along Maro river, Papua province, Indonesia.
