Other comments: Migabac is spoken by approximately 2,600 speakers in Masaweng river area, Morobe province, Papua New Guinea. The Migabac counting system is a digit-tally one with a basic numeral set (1, 2, 3); the numeral 4 has a '2+2' construction. The number words for 5 and 10 both contain a 'hand' morpheme 'mole and have a meanings 'hand one' and 'hands two' respectively. The number word for 20 is ' man one'. However, in everyday speech, the numbering system from Melanesian Pidgin or English is normally used, although the vernacular numerals for one through three are sometimes used. Their numbering system can be extended based on the number of hands (‘5’ each) or men (‘20’ each).  However, this quickly becomes cumbersome, so anything over five is rarely used. They did not traditionally count large numbers, so they would just say /bo?ja?/ ‘many’.
