Other comments: Manambu has a traditional counting system based on twenty. All numerals higher than ten are noun phrase. Numerals from 11 to 14 consist of 'ten', followed by the word mœn 'leg'; 15 tabəti mœnəb is formed with 10 and the form mœn followed by -əb 'all?', which means ' two hands (and) all the legs'. 16 to 19 are formed on 15, followed by nəmnəm (not used anywhere in the language), and then followed by numbers 1 to 4. Younger speakers regularize the system, by forming all numbers 11 to 19 in the same way (and avoiding the rare form nəmnəm). The term for 'twenty' du-a-mi nak means ' man- linker-tree one', refers to the numbers of fingers and toes on one person. Numbers over 100 are hardly ever used, but 300 can be formed as 'duami tobəti manaːb' and 1,000 is 'duamir duamir duami nak manaːb nəmnəm tabaːb'. Occasionally, a forty-based systems was attested and used by one speaker. Tok Pisin almost accompanies lengthy numbers.
