Other comments: Kaiep may have a quinary-decimal system like the Manan language. The data for Kaiep was incomplete, they may use Tok Pisin numerals after four now. New data of counting system needed to fill in the gaps for higher numerals.  
Kaiep is one of three Kairiru languages of Turubu Rural LLG, East Sepik Province, Papua New Guinea. It is spoken by about 200 speakers in the Kep, Taul, and Samap village area in Turubu Rural LLG.
