Other comments: Matakur or Matakur Panau has a traditional quinary counting system based on hands and body parts. The old information looks similar (but not exactly the same) as what I filled out. You will also notice that there is more than one way to say some of the numbers in the list I filled out, so I think the data you have is probably also right. I have no numbers above 20 either! They are just not used. After 10 (or 20), everything is just 'lots'. Also, the only numbers that people really use are 1-5, 10 and 20. Otherwise, in Matugar, they just use Tok Pisin numbers.

Note thatː numau ='my hand', neu = 'my leg', skun/kukun = 'digit (finger or toe)', ainta= 'half'.
