Other comments: Sowa has a quinary system. Sowa is extinct and poorly-remembered; these numerals are based on those remembered by speakers' children. Sowa was formerly spoken in central Raga island, Vanuatu.
In David Walsh's notes, muwu is replaced with ŋawul in the numbers 50-99, and the linkage is pwasen (="half") instead of nan. Speakers' children with whom I worked do not recognize Walsh's forms.
