Other comments: Dusner has a base (quinternary) number system. The numerals up to

thirty and the word meaning 'one hundred' are as above. The numeral snontu 'twenty' also means 'person'. The meaning for rimbi 'five' apparently related to 'hand. We are not able to elicit many of the higher numbers, the speakers are more used to using Indonesian or Wandamen rather that Dusner in counting, but the forms for the numerals forty, fifty, etc exist and were formerly in use. Note that the speaker

produced the form snontu tori for the numerals 60, but this is the form that speaker used for the numeral 23.
