Baruga has three distinct words for the nume Whilst the numeral 4 appears to have the construction 2 + 2 'enunge component morphemes are not identical to the morpheme for 2, 'ungaga'. word for 5 is 'ingo yoveni' where 'ingo' means 'hand'. Similarly, 10 is yoveni' meaning 'hands two' or 'hands all'.
