mal dinna mulanbu = 1 and 5 toes. 17.
bular dinna mulanbu = 2 and 5 toes. 18.
guliba dinna mulanbu = 3 and 5 toes. 19.
bular bular dinna mulanbu = 4 and 5 toes. 20.
bularin dinna = belonging to the 2 feet.

A somewhat peculiar numeral nomenclature is found in the language of the Klamath Indians of Oregon.
