Other comments: Adang is spoken by approximately 3,000 speakers in northwest Alor island, East Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia. Adang has a decimal system. Note that the morpheme ʡɛr of ʡɛr nu 'ten, ʡɛr alɔ, etc, that have glossed 'ten' means something like -ty of English's twenty, thirty, etc, where faliŋ of , for example, ʡɛr nu faliŋ nu '' that have glossed 'add' means, by the large, 'addition' or 'remain'. The terms for 'hundred' rat and for 'thousand' rib are borrowed from Bahasa Indonesiaː ratus and ribu. They are then adjusted both phonologically and syntactically in Adang. Thus, phonologically the last syllable tus of ratus and the final vowel /u/ of ribu are deleted.
