Other comments: Cheke Holo or Maringe has a system mixing with Austronesian numbers and some other indigenous origins. Cheke Holo has a traditional vigesimal system based on twenty 'tutu or tutuɣa', which means 'a score'. The meaning of the two words 'varadaki' and 'salei' were unknown. The numbers 'one to five', 'seven and ten 'fului' are from Austronesian origins. Cheke Holo is the most important trade language of Santa Isabel Island apart from Bughotu.  

Note that the [m̥] in number 6 'nam̥noi', [n̥] in 8 'n̥anai' and 9 'n̥evai' are voiceless or devoiced nasals, and the [n̥], sometime spelt as 'hn'. Cheke Holo is spokne by about 10,000 speakers in on Maringe side, Gnulahaghe and some villages in central Santa Isabel island, Isabel province, Solomon Islands.
