Other comments: Banda-Linda or Banda-Bambari has a numeral system nearby identical to that of Banda-Tangbago. The word for 15 ''ɡrɘvɘta'' probably comes from "ge" being the word for a packet, a bunch, and "r‚" the verb for "to set aside" and "vɘta" is the word for three. Perhaps the "ge" and "r‚ "shortened into "gr" and took on the general meaning of 5 ??? (counting a packet and setting it aside) this three times "vɘta" equals 15. Banda-Linda is believed to have three tones: high, mid and low. No high tones occur in this word list. Mid tones are marked . Low tones are not marked.
