Math is The Coolest Invention In the Universe

Are our familiar Germanic number-names derivatives of P-Celtic number names borrowed into pre-Germanic?

It’s much easier to derive English four, five, and Gothic fidwor, fimf, from something like Welsh pedwar, pum, than Latin quattuor, quinque. Common Germanic usually transforms pre-Germanic p to f and pre-Germanic kw to hw (Grimm’s Law).
