Other comments: Luanguia or Ontong Java has a decimal system similar to that of Nukumanu. There are different sets of numbers used to count numerals, things and people:

Note that the word 'kemano' is used to qualify very large numbers of coconuts, collected for making copra. 2,370 (1999 SIL). Ontong Java is spoken by about 2,300 speakers in Luangiua atoll, Malaita province, Solomon Islands. |
