Usage notes
- Fr. Noceda & Fr. Sanlucar (1860) mentioned a series of the first ten numerals, which they said to be used in the ancient times. Numbers in the series from 1-10 were: isain, duwain, mampat, agyo, tundong, kala, manapit, saga, bulaid, and turo. However, according to Blake (1907), the series was hardly possible to be more ancient because the series does not follow the common property of the Malayo-Polynesian family. Furthermore, Brandsetter (1902), thought that Fr. Noceda & Fr. Sanlucar misunderstood, and they represented a series of secret numbers or the numerals of another language.
