Other comments: Lavukaleve has a decimal system of counting. Compare with the data from Angela Terrill, there are some notes:

* There are two forms for number one ''telako for ''feminine and neutral'' and ''telakom'' for masculine; and three forms for two: two ''lelaol'' for feminine, ''lelaɡel'' for neutral and ''lelemal'' for masculine. The notes about gender agreement in the number 1 and 2 look fine.  One part that is not clear to me in the current representation is that “dom” and “lemal” are only used when counting things.

* For your reference, the orthography for these matches well with the IPA.  The Committee is researching in the communities the possibility of certain spelling conventions, such as using a hyphen in compound numbers

* I am only marking places where I have different data.

Lavukaleve sounds: Data from Aaron Choate, SIL, field observation

* Data represented below is not really different that the data of Angela Terrill in her grammar, the arrangement of a few sounds is the only difference.

Other comments: Lavukaleve has a decimal system of counting. The number '100' might be related to Austronesian. There are two forms for number one ''telako for ''feminine and neutral'' and ''telakom'' for masculine; and three forms for two: two ''lelaol'' for feminine, ''lelaɡel'' for neutral and ''lelemal'' for masculine. Lavukaleve is spoken by about 1,700 speakers in Central province: Russell islands, Solomon Islands.
