Other comments: Yale (Nagatman) has a decimal system with a five-base substructure. For most purposes, only the smaller numbers (1-15) are used in the language. To express the larger numbers the people usually use Tok Pisin (PNG trade language). Note that the word ''i.ta'' means ''again''. Yale is spoken by about 600 speakers in 6 villages, west of Namia, Amanab district, Sandaun province, Papua New Guinea.
