Other
comments: Mamusi or Kukana has a quinary-vigesimal system. Number five 'lima'
means' hand' but the new data is quite
different from the old data provided by
New Tribes Mission translator 20 years ago and that the numbers you have
under Mamusi should probably be under another language name /variant, the Kakuna dialect. Mamusi
is spoken by about 6,000 speakers in southeast coast and inland of East
New Britain province, Papua New Guinea.

Other comments: Mamusi or Kukana has a quinary-decimal system. Number five means' hand' but the origin of ten 'waili kena' is unclear. Nowadays, the traditional numbers from three up have been replaced by English or Pidgin numbers. Mamusi is spoken by about 6,000 speakers in southeast coast and inland of East New Britain province, Papua New Guinea. |
