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".
