Other comments: Angaataha is spoken by about 2,500 speakers in Morobe province Papua New Guinea. Angaataha or Angaatiha has a modified 2-cycle as well as a 5-cycle digit-tally system. When counting money, the Angaathiya use names for the colour of the different Kina bills, for exampleː bonɑiʔɾɨ - 'a type of fern', green in colour; similar in colour to the two Kina bill, hence, the meaning, when counting money, isː 'two kina' njɑnjiɸɑ - 'a shade of purple colour'; similar in colour to the 5 Kina bill, meaning 'five kina' sisiuʔwɑʔɑiɸɑ - 'a shade of blue colour'; similar in colour to the 10 Kina bill, meaning 'ten kina' nɑsɑɸɨ # mɨtoʔo – 'pig's head'; since there is a picture of a pig's head on the K20 bill; meaning 'twenty kina' utɑːʔomɨ mɨtoʔo – 'man's head'; since there is a picture of the bust of the Prime Minister, Sir Michael Somare, on the K50 bill; meaning 'fifty kina'  ikɨ # nɑsɑiʔɨ - 'bilum # one'; meaning '100'; also meaning '100 kina' when counting money. The coins can be counted in accordance with their shapes, for exampleː odiɸɑŋgo – 'flat-sided', referring to the shape of the 50 toea coin; meaning '50 toea' etc.
