The relationship of these forms to Paiwan tsudjuq-an ‘a finger’ is unclear, as the latter supports *Cuzuq, while all other diagnostic Formosan witnesses instead indiate *tuzuq. In some cases the apparent support for *t- rather than *C- may be due to unrecognized narrow conditions, as in Puyuma, which evidently does not permit dissimilar retroflex stops within the same morpheme, and dissimilates the first of these to its alveolar counerpart. However, a similar appeal to conditioning appears to be more difficult for Pazeh and Thao.

As Wilkinson (1959:1242) has noted for Malay, the association of the innovative word for ‘seven’ with the index finger derives from a system of finger-counting in which the thumb moves from little finger to index finger and then reverses direction, encountering the index finger for the second time after the thumb has served for both ‘five’ and ‘six’. Reflexes of *tuzuq in the indisputably innovative meaning ‘seven’ are of some interest for the internal subgrouping of WMP languages, as they include the languages of Sabah and Sarawak (but not of southeastern Borneo), Malay and its closest relatives, the Chamic languages and Sundanese (but not Javanese). However, many of the languages of Sabah also share an indisputably innovative word for ‘nine’ (reflecting *siam) with most of the languages of the Philippines. Since at least one of these lexical innovations must have acquired its attested distribution in part by diffusion the potential subgrouping value of *tuzuq in the meaning ‘seven’ is somewhat compromised.
