Other comments: Bannoni or Banoni has a peculiar counting system called 'incomplete decimal system', the word for 6 'bena' is a verb means 'cross', and 6 and 7 are formed by 'across and one', 'across and two' respectively. Bannoni is spoken by about 4,500 speakers in Empress Augusta Bay coast, between Aruma and Puriata rivers, Bougainville province, Papua New Guinea.
