The next group is composed of the languages which employ the 
decimal system. Most of them have adopted the Polynesian names in 
full; these are Nggela, Fagani, Wango, Saa, Arag, Ulawa, Omba, Laur, 
Lambell, King, Lamassa, Likkilikki, Mafoor. A small group, two 
languages in the Louisiades and two in the Solomons, employ nine Poly- 
nesian digits, but have words for 10 of their own; these are Brierly 
Island and Tagula, Bugotu and Nggao. Vaturanga uses all the Poly- 
nesian digits but 5, and New Georgia has 2, 5, 6, 9, 10. 
The vigesimal group comprises the following languages:

pass to the study of the primal forms and mutation forms of each of the 
ten Polynesian digits as presented in the three island areas.

possible to find a designation for one simpler than is in use for that digit standing by itself.
