Other comments: Umar, or called Yeretuar before, has a quinary-vigesimal system. The words ''nomtuho kotem'' is derived from ''one person''. Umar is not a tonal language. Different from Mor, Yeresiam and Yaur, Umar is not tonal.

In Umar, [h] and [s] are equivalent sounds; some speakers prefer one, some prefer the other. So edih = edis, nomtuho = nomtuso, etc. -- eat = iat "four", but I have only indicated this for the first time it appears. Umar is spoken by about 350 speakers in Nabire regency, lower Kwatisore bay in Papua province and south Teluk Wondama regency, Wandamen peninsula of West Papua province, Indonesia.

Please note the differences between IPA and orthographic spellings.
