The idea of the "number" concept evolving gradually over time is supported by the existence of languages which preserve the distinction between "one", "two", and "many", but not of numbers larger than two.
Bahwa konsep bilangan berkembang tahap demi tahap seiring waktu adalah bukti di beberapa bahasa zaman kini mengawetkan perbedaan antara "satu", "dua", dan "banyak", tetapi bilangan yang lebih dari dua tidaklah demikian.
