Other comments: Pele-Ata has a quinary-decimal system. The terms for 5 and 10 have no other meaning and they do not refer to hands. There is an increasing use of English numbers and the borrowed terms for 'hundred' and 'thousand' are 'anteti' and 'tausen'. However, Ata terms 1 to 10 are commonly used in everyday life. Pele-Ata is spoken by

about 2,000 speakers in Mamusi-West Pomio RLLG, East New Britain province and

Talasea district, inland from Bongula bay in Nakanai mountains, West New Britain province, Papua New Guinea.
