Rabbi Lapin should stick to Hebrew. "Word" and "Verb" have the same Indo-European root and the Semitic "dvr" has nothing to do with it. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=verb&allowed_in_frame=0
Kid comes from the proto-Germanic "*
kiðjom"
Regular comes from the Latin "regula", or rule.
Cotton comes from the Arabic "qutun" or mixed.
The only one that is correct is tunic, although the Romans got it from another Canaanite language, Phoenician.

("Mosques are our barracks, minarets our bayonets, domes our helmets, the believers our soldiers.")
But where did all those other languages come from? Which was the only language until the
Hagbalah?
Rabbi Lapin is pointing out that all other languages are derived from Hebrew.
