I love this. And I like it's also consistant with the findings of the natural semantic Metalanguage.
NSM would be the minimum element set of concepts shared by all human cultures, which can be used to derive the rest of concepts, and it's heavily based on anthropological field studies.
And it includes the numbers one, two and many, (also few, some & all). So that indicates some special meaningful distinction for us in that jump from two repetitions to start abstracting away.
