Other comments: Paɡibete or Apagibete is spoken by approximately 28,000 speakers

Mongala province: Bumba territory and Nord-Ubangi province: Businga and Yakoma territories. Democratic Republic of the Congo. Paɡibete has a decimal system

Enumeratives
 The traditional Pagibete number system has numbers for one to five; after five, they used to use an addition system, except for ten, which is the word for ‘hands’.
 Table 5. Traditional Pagibete Counting, 1-10
 1 émotí ‘one’ 6 esálo esálo ‘three three’
 2 éɓalé ‘two’ 7 esálo ékwaᵑɡane ‘three four’
 3 esálo ‘three’ 8 ékwaᵑɡane ékwaᵑɡane ‘four four’
 4 ékwaᵑɡane ‘four’ 9 ékwaᵑɡane oɓúmoti ‘four five’
 5 oɓúmotí ‘five’ 10 maɓɔkɔ ‘hands’

Today, while they continue to use their words for one through five, and sometimes that for ten, they commonly use the Lingala numbers for six through ten.
When used in counting, numbers one through four have the form é-+ stem. When used as adjectives, they have the form concord marker + stem (29). ‘Five’, oɓúmotí, has an invariable form, which appears to be composed of the class 15 prefix o-, plus the 3PL affix ɓú, plus the stem for ‘one’,
-motí (‘they ones’, referring to the five digits on a hand?).

(29) Numbers as adjectives
a) N-tó ó-motí b) e-ɓembé lé-motí
c.1-person c.1-one c.5-house c.5-one

c) ɓa-tó ɓí-balé d) ma-ɓembé mi-sálo
c.2-person c.2-two c.6-house c.6-three

The Lingala numbers generally remain invariable in form, as they do in the dialect of Lingala spoken in the area. For numbers larger than ten, the Pagibete typically mix the two systems. This is shown in table 6.

Table 6. Counting in Present-Day Pagibete
1 émotí 11 zomi n’émotí
2 éɓalé 12 zomi n’ébɓlé
3 esálo 13 zomi n’esálo
4 ékwaᵑɡane etc.
5 oɓúmotí
6 motoɓa 20 ntuku éɓalé
7 sambo 21 ntuku ébalé n’émotí
8 mwambe 23 ntuku esálo n’esálo
9 libwá etc.
10 zomi (Lingala) or maɓoko (Pagibete)
