Other comments: Mbanza has a decimal system with special constructions for 6 to 9. The numbers 6 and 8 are also used by a neighboring group, Ngbaka. It is not clear if one group borrowed it from the other. Because of the long constructions for 7 and 9, these digits also go by their Lingala (trade language) namesː sambo (7) and libwa (9). kama (100) and koto (1000) are Lingala borrowings.
