Other comments: Ibanag has a decimal numeral system similar to that of Ga'dang.

Notes on phonology:

· Apostrophe = glottal stop = glottalized allophone of final voiceless stop.

· Double consonants are pronounced with true lengthening.

· “si” is realized like English “sh.”

· This is standard orthography, except for one point:

· I represent schwa as “a”, true /a/ as “aa”. Standard spelling merges them.

· All other letters have standard Philippine language values.

· What’s interesting? “liMA” = ‘hand’. “LIma” = ‘5’.

· What’s interesting? The normally stative predicate prefix “ma-” being used with ten, hundred, thousand.
