Determine the next term in the following sequence of numbers.

4,3,5,4,3,6,8,7,7,__

Note : Think about the number of letters in some 'Numerical' (but English) words.

I considered the following, and it does look good ... but ..

4,3,5   five, six, seven
4,3,6   nine, ten, eleven
8,7,7   thirteen,  No, No No.

KS, I looked at this when the puzzle came up for review and for some reason it intrigued me.  I knew at that time this was not the solution, but the coincidences are worth sharing.

Before I adjourn to other commitments, someone with deeper insights might see this as "a road to somewhere" afterall the difficulty is D3.  But I could well be on the wrong plain!  Food for thought!
