I agree. SHEBA שבע 'seven', is related to SHEPA שפע 'plenty'.
Also to NI-SHP-EH, 'tall', as in Is. 13:2 and Jer. 14:6. Also to CEPA
צפע 'snake', and CPIA צפיע 'turd'.
Otherwise, the אצבעות are צבות and ניצבות on the palm
of the hand, and there are plenty of them.

Some people have suggested that this word may have some
relationship with sab( "seven".
