Other comments: Pwapwâ has a traditional quinary-vigesimal system based on 'hands' and 'persons'. Note that the word for ten 'paidu' is originally from 'tresser les os' (French)='plating bones' (English). Pwapwâ is a seriously endangered language with less than a hundred speakers spoken by Boyen tribe of Voh in northern New Caledonia. I have just started my investigations on this language. Pwapwâ is an endangered language with about 40 speakers spoken in Boyen, Témala, and Voh in west coast of North province, New Caledonia. Note: c=IPA [t͡ʃ], ch = IPA [t͡ʃʰ]
