Other comments: Wandamen or Wamesa has a quinary-vigesimal system. The word siniotu siri is derived from ''one person'' Numbers 1 to 5 as well as number 10 are written with one word; 6-9 with three words, meaning ‘5 and 1’, ‘5 and 2’ etc. Counting system: 1st until 5th finger, 6 - 10 using the fingers of both hands, 11-20 using the toes of both feet. Numbers 11-15 are written with three words, meaning: ’10 and 1’, ’10 and 2’ etc. Numbers 16-19 are written with five words, meaning: ’10 and 5 and 1’, ’10 and 5 and 2’ etc. For number 20 the word ‘person’ is used; this of course because an intact person represents number 20 (10 fingers and 10 toes); hence that’s also how number 20 is counted. So, 21= ‘person and 1’etc. 40=’two persons’. 60=’three persons’. 80=’4 persons’. 30=’one person and 10’. 50=’2 persons and 10’ etc. Wamesa is spoken by about 5,000 speakers in Manokwari, Wasior, Wandamen bay to Bintuni bay east end, West Papua province, Indonesia. |
