Other comments: Sengseng or Asengseng has a quinary system. Now they  really only count to five, After that to 10 it is like 5 and then one comes inside etc. Ten is like saying ''fist, fist'', but they don't use this now, they use English or Tok Pidgin more frequently. Sengseng is spoken by about 1,700 speakers in southwest interior of West New Britain province, Papua New Guinea.

Other comments: Sengseng or Asengseng has a quinary system. Now they use English or Tok Pidgin more frequently. The Asengseng system has a 5-cycle or, possibly, a (5,10) cycle pattern. The basic numeral set is (1 to 5)ː the numeral 5, 'isip', is not cognate with 'his hand', 'vevli-n'. This numerals do not appear to be typically AN in character. The numerals 6 to 9 have a '5+n' structure where 'n' takes the values 1 to 4 respectively. The numeral 10, 'supisip' appears to be a reduplication of the numeral 5 and thus is interpreted a s '5 +5'. The numerals 11 to 19 have the construction 'n +me+sup' where 'n' takes the values 1 to 9 respectively. It is possible to interpret 'su' in these combinations as being a distinct numeral 10 although it may be an abbreviated form of 'supisip'. The numeral 20, 'isupmesup', may thus have either the interpretation '10+10' or '(5+5)+(5+5)', the first suggesting a system with a (5, 10) cyclic pattern whilst the second suggests a system with a 5-cycle only. Sengseng is spoken by about 1,700 speakers in southwest interior of West New Britain province, Papua New Guinea.
