Other comments: Ôrôe or Orowe has a quinary system. The traditional numbers after ten have been replaced by French numbers now. The old data with an asterisks provided by SIL linguists Charles Fenning and Richard Lee showed that this language has a quinary, vigesimal counting system based on hands and person. The word 'raʔɔ' or 'rakẽ o' means 'one person' because one person has 20 fingers and toes. Orowe is spoken by about 400 speakers in west coast of South province, New Caledonia.
