Other comments: Chung or Cung has a decimal system. As with the other Eastern Beboid languages, the numbers 1-5 (in the one's position) are prefixed with noun class agreement (at least in numbers greater than 10). We have not yet analyzed the language enough to understand what class the agreement prefix is indicating. -The number 100 belongs to gender 3/4. Class 3 is marked by labialization of the initial consonant. Class 4 is marked by the lack of labialization. As we don't have 2000, we unfortunately can not say if it is treated by class, but I would assume that it is (probably gender 1/2).

Note the tone markings areː à=low, a (unmarked)=mid, á=high falling.
