*o-sio
• nine (independent numeral).
Note: KOR: osiu; WIW: siu; TOK: hosio; all others: osio. Initial h in the Tokotu’a dialect of Mornene is ascribed to contamination from hoalu ‘eight’ and hopulu ‘ten’. [PAN *sa-siwa ‘nine’; compare also *siyaw ‘nine’ Mindanao and N. & C. Celebes (Charles 1973:21)]
