Other comments: Titan has a typical "Manus type" Austronesian language decimal counting system with special structure for numerals 6 to 9. The formation of number 50 is different from those of other tens. The Titan data were recorded, from fieldwork in Manus that I did in 1975. Here is the basic numeral set for serial counting (in counting houses, pigs, trees, coconuts, bunches of betel nuts, etc. a numeral classifier must be used, and the sets are slightly different, e.g. um a-se-m 'one house', pow a e-a-mo 'one pig', key a se-y 'one tree', niw a si 'one coconut', brue e a-mbung 'one bunch of betel nuts', where um=house, pow=pig, key=tree, niw=coconut, and brue=betel nut):
I've marked morpheme boundaries. All final vowels are automatically followed by glottal stop and all sequences of high vowel+unlike vowel are followed by a glide homorganic with the high vowel. Titan is spoken by about 5,000 speakers in southeast coast of Manus island, Manus province, Papua New Guinea.
