I want to know the answer to the following question:
How many islands are in the Tuvalu group?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Eight of the nine islands of Tuvalu were inhabited; thus the name, Tuvalu, means "eight standing together" in Tuvaluan (compare to *walo meaning "eight" in Proto-Austronesian).". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
