"neʔθwi" meaning in All languages combined

See neʔθwi on Wiktionary

Numeral [Proto-Algonquian]

Forms: *neʔɬwi [alternative]
Etymology: Probably from the same Proto-Algic root as Wiyot rik- (dik-) (“three”) and Yurok nahkse(C) (“three”). Compare Proto-Algic *nikhšeme· (“thrice, three times”), whence Wiyot rikhbé (dikhbé), Yurok nahksemi (“three times”). It has been observed that "the numbers from ‘one’ to ‘five’ all contain a semantically empty initial (root) *ny-, realized as *ne- before a consonant".
