If I recall,
Tagalog, the official language of Winnipeg :), has /tadlo/ for
"three"
with a medial -d-. What was the Austronesian reconstruction again? I
would
have presumed *taDu where *D = /d./ like in Indian languages. If I
recall
it's *Dua for "two" (Tagalog /dalawa/).
pAN d'apres Blust :
1 *esa
2 *duSa
3 *telu
4 *Sepat
Ceci dit, dans certaines langues ont a bien une retroflexes (*duSa
> paiwan drusa), mais le *d du pAN correspond a dj, dr ou z en paiwan, du a
des emprunts avec les langues du coins comme le
Puyuma.
