Other comments: Numerals in Penan Benalui or Western Penan are based on a very regular decimal system of justaxposition. These constructions differ partly from those in Kenyah languages. While the numerals themselves are mostly shared with Kenyah (as also most languages of other nomadic groups), the construction based on the numeral jap /d͡ʒap/ 'ten', which actually means ‘to count’, is unique. Other Kenyah languages and many other nomadic languages use for ‘ten’ the Austronesian word pulu. The addition construction with jap in Penan Benalui for the numerals from ten to twenty is syntactically different as it is formed by placing the number from one to nine after jap; for example, ‘eleven’ is jejap jah /d͡ʒəd͡ʒap/. In Kenyah languages the unit is followed by the word sueɂ ‘more, plus’ preceding the numeral ‘ten’, as in Badeng caɂ sueɂ pulo which is literally ‘one plus ten’. Western Penan language is spoken by 3,000 speakers in Sarawak, Malaysia and Brunei.
