[286] Codrington, Melanesian Languages, p. 235.  The next four scales are from the same page.  Perhaps the meanings of the words for 6 to 9 are more properly “more 1,” “more 2,” etc.  Codrington merely indicates their significations in a general way.

[287] Hale, Ethnography and Philology, p. 429.  The meanings of 6 to 9 in this and the preceding are my conjectures.
