Other comments: Sentani has a quinary / vigesimal system. Sentani numeral system is basically 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (one fist), second hand 1 (6), 2 (7), 3 (8), 4 (9), two hands (10). 'bʌlʌ' means 'with', 'u mbai' (20) is 'one body.' 100 = five bodies (5 X 20). These days it's a lot simpler for the Sentanis to just use the Indonesian numeral system, especially with big numbers. Sentani is spoken by about

30,000 speakers in about 30 scattered villages, Lake Sentani area, Papua province, Indonesia.
