Other comments: Gagnoa Bété has a quianry, vigesimal system. The word 'wʉ̯̋ɺú ɓɵ̯̀ɺō' originally means 1000 francs, which may be a loanword from nearby Mande language, which means 1000, this causes considerable confusion since people are only used to using numbers over 200 when counting money. Gagnoa Bété or Eastern Bété is spoken by approximately 320,000 speakers in Bas-Sassandra district and Gôh-Djiboua district, Côte d'Ivoire.
