Chuvash pilek (five) is related likely to CT bilek (wrist, arm) which
likely originally meant hand (and like Farsi penj) gave the word for 5.

Secondly, it is funny that they would take a word like "besh"
and turn it into "pilek". So not only did "sh" become "r",
but "b" became "p" and they added -ek for good measure.

This is what is claimed.

Thus similarly pir is likely the original form of bez (bOz) and
likely gave rise to byssos, and bazz. The original form was
likely related to "bur" and thus to "pir" (as in Chuvash).

BTW, what is the word in Egyptian? Greek byssos and Arabic
bazz are supposed to go back to original Egyptian?

Similarly, the word for 7 (yedi, ceti, yetti) likely carries
the original meaning of the word, i.e. "enough", "sufficient", "end",
since that is the number of days in a week. Thus Chuvash s'itte
is likely related to Hebrew, and IE for seven, and henc is
older than CT (common Turkic) yedi/ceti/yetti.

In the same way, the word for axe (bolek, balag, balta) etc
is still in Turkic while the words pelekku and pelekus in
Akkadian and Greek are only assumed to have come from a
root which "must have existed". The word "bOl" still exists
in Turkic and means "to cleave, to split, to divide". Furthermore
the word "balta" (likely related to polat (steel)) is from the
same root. The word "bile" (to sharpen) does not come from
"bil" (to know) but is related to axe. These follow the old
form "chalqi" (scythe) whereas the Turkish "chelik" (steel)
is like orak (sickle). Obviously, "or" (to reap) is related
to harvesting and dozen words or so relate it to the Mideast
specifically Sumerian purely on the basis of the single
root "or". I have gone over all these already too many times
to be convinced by arguments like Sari Cizmeli Mehmet aga
wrote this, S*kimbash Salih wrote that, etc etc.

No matter what kind of rationalizations are used the truth
peers out. Turkic for some strange reason happens to contain
archaic words and meanings.
