[stuff on N. Caucasian numerals]
I have no opinion on "Dene-Sino-Caucasian", but the North (West &
East) Caucasian numerals show some striking similarities with the
Tibet-Burman ones. We have:
1. Tib. g-cig (*g-tik) :: Chechen cHa', Avar co, Lak ca, Lezgi sa-,
Kabardian za
2. Tib. g-nyis (*g-nis) :: [no obvious NEC/NWC cognates]
3. Tib. g-sum (*g-sum, PSin. *sam) :: Lak s^an, Kab. s'a
4. Tib. b-zhi (*b-li:) :: Kab. pLi
5. Tib. l-nga (*l-nga) :: [no obvious NEC/NWC cognates]
6. Tib. d-rug (*d-ruk) :: Lak ryax, Lezgi rugu- (Chech. yalx & Avar
ank.L. probably related too)
7. Tib. b-dun (? PTB *s-nis) :: [no obvious NEC/NWC cognates]
8. Tib. br-gyad (*br-giat) :: Chech. barh, Lak myay, Lezgi müz^ü, Avar
mik.L.
9. Tib. d-gu (*d-ku:) :: Lezgi k.ü, Kab. bGu, Lak urc^., Avar ic^.,
Chech. iss
10. Tib. b-cu (? PTB *g-kiap) :: Lezgi c.u-, Lak ac., Avar anc.,
Chech. itt
