Other comments: Gebe has a decimal counting system similar to that of Buli and Weda. Note that the traditional symbol 'c' as in ten ''woca'' and thousand ''calansa'' used in Indonesian linguistics, is a voiceless palatal affricate, IPA [t͡ʃ]. Gebe is spoken by about 2,600 speakers in some villages in Gag, Gebe, and Yoi’umiya islands, North Maluku province, and Halmahera island, Indonesia. |
