Other comments: Kwara'ae or Kwaraqae has a decimal system similar to that of Lau and To'abaita, but there are peculiar phenomena of metatheses happened in numerals 1, 2, 5, 6 and 8.  NB: ma means ‘and’ and the formation for the compound from 22 to 29 and the tens 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90 are refereed to the old data collected by Jeffrey Heinz in 2006. Kwara'ae is spoken by about 30,000 speakers in central Malaita island, Malaita province, Solomon Islands.
