Languages with numeral classifiers and plural inflection

[Matthew S Dryer]

My database records the following as POSSIBLY (probably?) being languages
with numeral classifiers and plural morphology.  Whether they co-occur
needs to be checked and whether they fit how I have characterized them
needs to be checked, so I give my sources.  My own view is that original
sources need in general to be checked; I don't think depending on hearsay
is a good way to do typology.  All of these languages appear to employ
plural affixes.

Note that Audrey Li's question assumes Numeral + Classifier and says
nothing about Classifier + Numeral.  I don't know if this is significant.
