Please see that page for discussion and justifications beyond the initial comment of: “Adelaar's paper doesn't state that there is another number for "seven" other than *tujuh. Although Banjar (pitu), one of the Malayic language has this term, it's a borrowing from Javanese as explained in Adelaar's paper. Even though this term is listed in Kamus Dewan (the link in the further reading section of the Malay entry pitu), they label it with "Jw" (Jawa, Javanese).”. You may continue to edit this reconstruction entry while the discussion proceeds, but please mention significant edits at the RFD discussion and ensure that the intention of votes already cast is not left unclear. Do not remove the {{rfd}} until the debate has finished.
