Other comments: Bohuai or Polowa has has a typical "Manus type" Austronesian language decimal counting system with special structure for numerals 7 to 9 similar to that of the related Nyindrou language. For numerals 7 to 9, it might attribute a meaning like 'minus, missing, lacking' to the initial morpheme in those forms, but I haven't been able to gloss it confidently on the basis if its appearance outside this construction. So, for me, it's an uncertain gloss. Phonemic System of Bohuai (John Newman, University of Alberta) Consonantsː
