Other comments: Papitalai has a typical "Manus type" Austronesian language decimal counting system with special structure for numerals 6 to 9. It seems the number 6 is

a loanword from Polynesian language,

I have realized on my last field trip that Papitalai is not a separate language from Koro, but is rather just a dialect of Koro. I'm not aware of any differences in the numeral systems of different Koro dialects, but there may be some that I don't know about.

For now you could list the data I gave you for Papitalai as being Koro (Papitalai dialect).

Note that the numbers 90 and 1000 are taken from Dr. Glennon A. Lean's old data in orthographic spelling twenty years ago.
