Other comments: Mato or Nenaya has a system with basic numerals (1, 2, 3). However, people only use the traditional numerals from 1 to 10 now, after ten, they use Tok Pisin. There are two variants given by Pete Lincoln (1976) and Geoff Smith (1984), data from Lincoln (1976) the word for 6 contains a 'hand' morpheme 'rima' and the word word for 20 is 'lipu teninɑ kisi rimɑna- kinɑ' for which we have no exact gloss but which appears to be: 'man one': his hands and feet', 'lipu' being a 'man' morpheme, 'rima-' and 'ki-' being 'hand' and 'foot' morphemes respectively. Mato or Nenaya is spoken by about 580 speakers three separate villages on the Morobe Province of northern Papua New Guinea.
