Other comments: Mae or Tirax or Dirax has a traditional quinary system. Mae is spoken by about 1,000 speakers (Lynch and Crowley 2001) in Malekula island, Malampa province, Vanuatu.
Note that the word for five 'lima' changed to 'i-lin'. There are variants with the higher numbers, where an /il/ varies with a syllabic /l/: E.g. i-hŋoβilru / i-hŋoβlru. There is another variant: the s and h in 100. (Tirax h is a reflex of an earlier *s) 100. i-ŋosŋaβil  / variant: i-ŋohŋaβil

Note the Tirax spelling system uses ‘v’ for the voiced bilabial fricative.
