Other comments: Paluai or Baluan has a typical "Manus type" Austronesian language decimal counting system with special structure for numerals 6 to 9 and 70, 80 and 90 similar to that of the Lou language, spoken in the island of Baluan. This is the basic counting system, used for inanimates and as a default. Terms for animates have the same general system but carry a different suffix. There are terms which are differently suffixed again and were formerly used for e.g. elongated things, leaves etc. (comparable to numeral classifiers), but to present speakers only the numbers one - three are generally known and these paradigms seem to have become obsolete. Other higher numbers areː 400. pɑŋɔt, 500. misimɪn, 600. woloŋal kɑsip, 700. ŋɑnoruluŋɑl kɑsip, 800. ŋɑnoruluŋɑl kɑsip, 900. ŋɑnosɑŋɑl kɑsip. Paluai is spoken by about 2,500 speakers in Baluan and Pam islands, Manus province, Papua New Guinea.
