I have been thinking about this possibility for a long time. It's interesting thou that the expression 'three foxes' is used instead of just 'many foxes'The beginning of counting seems to be "one, two, many", and there are still peoples who count like this.
In old texts 3 is often used for "many".
I cannot give sources, I never think of making a note where I find something. Sorry.
Hi Sven:I have been thinking about this possibility for a long time. It's interesting thou that the expression 'three foxes' is used instead of just 'many foxes'
% I've attached a PDF with links showing that the word 'many' existed in bronze age China. In case this word didn't existed then 'three....' in the same meaning should be expected...
