No comments about zacht, but vijf and Süd are somewhat irregular.
 * vijf
 * foif isn't really "North Sea Germanic", I suppose. Earlier Appendix:Proto-Germanic/fimf mentions "an irregular consonant change" from
 * Appendix:Proto-Indo-European/pénkʷe, which gives
 * Appendix:Proto-Celtic/kʷinkʷe, which gives
 * Gaulish: pempe
 * Brythonic:
 * Breton: pemp
 * Welsh: pump
 * opposed to
 * Goidelic: *kwe(n)kwe
 * and Italic, which gives
 * Oscan: pompe
 * Umbrian: pumpe
 * opposed to
 * Latin: quinque
 * I think Germanic:fimf, Celtic:pempe/pemp/pump, Italic:pompe/pumpe differ in a visibly obvious way from other Indo-European languages.


 * Süd
 * I would almost dare to say that sunt is the odd man out. We have suðr (a bit early for Low German influence) and Romance languanges often have sud/sur (even sud#Romanian)
