I have noted that
lima (meaning five) is the only number that is consistently called the same name in most (if not nearly all) languages of SE Asia. Five is
lima in Malay, Indonesian, and a host of Philippine dialects (including Tagalog, Igorot, Cebuano, Warai, Tausug, Maranao, Yakan, and so on). Not sure that this means anything, or adds to the discussion here, just an observation.
