Other commentsː Baram Kayan (Umaa' Lekan) has a decimal system. The data was from the Uma:ʔ Lekan (one of the Kayan-Busang subgroups among Kayanic peoples, in Miau Baru village, upper Kelinjau, East Kalimantan, Indonesia in 2018 and there are two forms for the compound numerals from 11 to 19, the first one was used in traditional counting and the second one is used today. The Umaa' Lekan, strictly speaking, it should neither be put into "Baram Kayan." They are quite similar with the Uma Pu of Sarawak (the Baram basin), but the Umaa' Lekan were influenced from the Ga'ay subgroups such as the Long Way in eastern tributaries of the Mahakam.
Note that the Kayanic peoples, the Uma:ʔ Tua:n and Uma:ʔ Lekan. They are called "Busa:ng" in Indonesia, while they are actually called "Kayan" in Sarawak (Malaysian Borneo). "Kayan" in general, or I prefer to call "Kayanic peoples," can be devided into 3 main subgroups, namely, Kayan-Busang, Bahau, and Ga'ay, according to their origins. The words of Uma:ʔ Tuaan are almost the same as some other Busa:ng / Kayan, such as the Uma:' Lekwee, Uma Mehak, Uma Wak, and Uma Luhat. On the other hand, the Uma:ʔ Lekan are slightly different from those Busa:ng of middle-upper Mahakam, and their language is closer to the Uma:ʔ Suling, etc.

Note that the traditional phonetic symbolsː  c=IPA [t͡ʃ],  j=IPA [dʒ], y=IPA [j]
