Other comments: Pano or Malasanga has a system with basic numeral set (1, 2, 3, 4). However, people only keep the traditional numerals from 1 to 5, and 10 now, after ten, they use Tok Pisin. There are two variants given by Pete Lincoln (1976) and Geoff Smith (1984), data from Lincoln (1976) the words for 6 to 9 contain a 'hand' morpheme 'ba-', and the meaning of the suffix '-kes' being uncertain. The word for 20 'korap' means 'man', 'korapta' thus meaning 'man one'. Malasanga is spoken by about 900 individuals in two villages on the north coast of Morobe Province, Papua New Guinea.
