Other comments: Ngabaka has a decimal system with special construction for number 'seven'. However, Ms. Margaret Hill says that the interestingly the special construction for 7 is dropping out of use and being replaced by the Lingala word "sambo" and both the high numbers 'hundreds' and 'thousands ' are borrowed from Lingala. |
