Other comments: Nage has a decimal system with five-base substructure, similar to that of Ngad'a. Note that the  /e/ in telu (3) is indeed the schwa [ə], as is the /e/ in esa (one). 'sə ŋasu' (100) is more correctly sa (=əsa) though in rapid pronunciation it is often heard as 'sə' (ə=schwa). 'tea əsa' is alternatively 'ta əsa'. Nage is spoken by approximately 50,000 (Forth 1993) in central Flores island, west slopes of Ebu Lobo volcano, East Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia.
