lima — a cognate across Austronesian (*lima (Proto-Austronesian))
cognate
The word for 'five; hand', one etymon descending down several branches of Austronesian and meeting at the reconstructed *lima (Proto-Austronesian). Reflexes (attested): formosan: Amis lima; malayo-polynesian: Malay lima, Tagalog lima, Hawaiian lima, Māori rima, Fijian lima, Malagasy dimy. The reflexes are attested by the comparative method; *lima (Proto-Austronesian) is a reconstruction (a postulate, not sealed). This cognate is where the branches that carry it connect - a confluence on the Austronesian floor.
