Other comments: Agarabi is spoken by approximately 30,000 speakers in Kainantu district, Eastern Highlands province, Papua New Guinea. Agarabi has a traditional counting system up to twenty before, however, people stop using the traditional counting from 11 to 20 stop using and use Anglicized higher numbers after ten now as belowː thirty: teti, forty: foti, fifty: fifti, sixty: sikisti, seventy: seventi, eighty: eiti, ninety: nainti, one hundred: mana antareti, two hundred: kan antareti, three hundred: kanú manaú antareti etc.

Note that the word must end in a vowel or a a glottal stop or a nasal. However, for twenty-one, the preference is to add a vowel at the end, even though it ends in a nasal.  That is the generally the case for nouns, I've noted.
