In Austronesian languages, "five" = "hand."

Proto-Austronesian *lima:
Amis lima
Tagalog lima
Hawaiian lima
Indonesian lima
Fijian lima

Māori rima (regular *l → r)
Malagasy dimy (*l → d)

4,000 years from Taiwan to Hawaii, Madagascar, NZ. Count on one hand. It stuck.

Small shift, useful accent clue.

Join me in 30 minutes to give it another shot. #conlang #language #linguistics #dnd #ttrpg youtube.com/live/3P4KK2T...
