Other comments: Sepa may has a quinary-vigesimal counting system like that of the Manan language. They may use Tok Pisin numerals after five now. New data needed to fill in the gaps for the other higher numerals after five. Sepa is an Oceanic language of northeast New Guinea spoken by about 700 speakers in the coast of Madang province and nearby small islands.
