Other comments: Vatrata or Vera'a has a quinary counting system.

1. In general, as is of course true for many other languages in Vanuatu, the Vera'a

    numerals for higher than 4 - 5 or so are rarely used in everyday conversation.

2. In the numerals for 11 - 19, 21 - 29, etc. the particle ne might very well be analysed

    as something like an article introducing a numeral phrase - Teop seems to have

    something similar (Ulrike Mosel p.c.). I am not absolutely sure about this yet. I have

    absolutely no idea about de̝me̝

3. Unfortunately I have no (reliable) data for the hundreds. As Vera'a speakers do not

    make use of the Vera'a numerals very frequently and often do not recall them it is

    not very easy, in my view often not feasible at all, to elicit these data. One may very

    easily embarrass people which is why I refrained from insisting on eliciting these

    numerals when it became clear that even elder speakers were not sure. 

Vera'a is spoken by about 500 speakers in Vera’a village, Vanua Lava island west coast, Torba province, Vanuatu.
