Pituish is defined by the innovation of *pitu 'seven', as&#160; discussed in Sagart (2004) (here), to which readers are referred. *pitu displaced earlier *RaCep-i-tuSa 'five-plus-two: seven', of which it is a left- and right-pruned form: *pitu &#60; *(RaCe)p-i-tu(Sa).Pituish has two branches: Favorlang-Taokas (here) and Limaish (here).ReferencesSagart, L.
