This North Country (Welsh) counting system is dealt with (Justus, 1999,
Pre-decimal structures in counting and metrology. In: Numeral Types and
Changes Worldwide, ed. by Jadranka Gvozdanovich, 55-79. Berlin: de
Gruter.) in the context of more recent discoveries about early counting
systems in the Ancient Near East (see website with links:
http://www.dla.utexas.edu/depts/lrc/numerals/numerals.html).

Unfortunately, de Gruyter is a copyright provision that does not allow
this article to be put on the website, but others are there, and others
still in the process of being put up.
