Other comments: Laycock (1973,p.19) indicates that Warapu is spoken in four villages; Po, Ramo, Sumo, and Warapu; the last is located on the coast adjacent to Sissano-speaking villages, the other three are located inland. At the 1980 National Census these four villages (Census Units) had a total population of 2023 (National Statistical Office.

   An early account of the 'Varofu' (i.e. Warapu) people is given in Erdweg (1901).

In the New Guinea Report for 1924-25, Wilkes (1926) has a vocabulary taken at

'Nori' village which Laycock (1973,p.19) says is an example of Warapu, though badly

transcribed. The number words from this vocabulary appear in Kluge (1941,p.28i). The

other number data obtained derive from three CSQs completed by informants from

Warapu village which, as noted above, is now located in the Sissano region. 

   The CSQ informants (System A) uniformly indicate that their counting system is a

digit-tally one which has a (2,5) cyclic pattern. There are distinct words for 1 and 2:

'moike' and 'riyepin' respectively. The numbers 3 and 4 are combinations of these: 3 has

a '2 + conjunction + 1' construction and 4 has a '2 + 2' construction. The number

words for 5 and 10 both contain a 'hand' morpheme 'eno', 5 being 'eno para moike' or hand (completed) one', and 10 being 'eno para riyepin' or 'hand (completed) two'. One of the three CSQ informants indicates that beyond 10 tallying continues on the toes and that 15 is 'eno para riyepin nakom para moike' or 'hands (completed) two foot (completed) one'. Wilke's data (System B) seem somewhat aberrant and may indeed be badly transcribed as Laycock indicated. Wilkes has 'enowau' for 'hand' and 'en-no' appears in his number words for 5 to 9. New data needed to compare with the old one.
