Bus/Financial - Retail
English term or phrase: tally
In this context:

While censuses and taxes feature in non-literate states such as Ashanti and Dahomey, and the use of TALLIES and counters is widely attested, the efficiency of these operations is greatly increased by the use of simple literate techniques. (Part of the book Literacy in traditional societies, by Jack Goody, 1968, CUP).

marcação
Explanation:
tally: 1 talha: vara de madeira na qual se marca com corte o que os outros devem.

Obviamente, a marcação pode ser para outros fins além de controlar dívidas. E não precisa ser cortes em madeira. O importante é o conceito de fazer uma marca para contagem, na falta de alfabetização.
