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. The numbers 90 and 1000 are taken from

Dr. Glennon A. Lean's old data in orthographic spelling twenty years ago.
