Indo-European borrowed numerals from Semitic? How do you explain
Japanes "siti" for 7? How do you explaint the Georgian words for 6 and
7?
Here are the Georgian numbers:
1 erti
2 ori
3 sami
4 otxi
5 xuti
6 ekvsi
7 shvidi
8 rva
9 cxra
10 ati

Sumerian numbers look different, but not Egyptian.
1 ua
2 sen
3 xemet
4 ftu
5 tuau
6 sas
7 sefex
8 xemennu
9 pest
10 met

6 and 7 seem to be similar almost everywhere.
