Payngo = Fist & Austronesian Numerals

I'm new to this group, but have been reading through some of the
archives.

I forget where, but someone mentioned payngo= Nostratic 'fist', so I
looked up the Science article at:

and it seems it's considered so.

I'm researching Austronesian number words and systems and have noticed
a distinct tendency towards 'bang' words, associated with numbers 4,
5, and 6 and even 9 (usually related to 'hand' in some way) in both
Papuan and Austronesian languages.
Part of my numbers chart, with 'bang' words highlighted, is at:

Comments please?
Plus - any additions ?
