Other comments: Kosraean or Kusaiean has a decimal system with several sets of classifiers which used with different nouns similar to other Micronesian languages.

The above set is used for series counting. Dr. Elaine M. Good of department of Languages and Literature, University of Papua New Guinea sent old data for Kusaiean language to Eugene Chan in September 1, 1988.
