A few words that sound similar do not make a connection. You need a pattern, which means especially a pattern of change, such as the initial Ps becoming Fs (Pater/Father).

The tribes went through the Caucusus and Turkey. That's one of many examples. If you don't want to believe it then you don't want to believe it. There isn't anything I can do to prove it to you, circumstancial evidence will never mean anything to you. I think it's obvious, especially with the Scandinavian languages. They have an Hebrew accent in my opinion.

And while I'm mentioning it, explain how all these Hebrews wound up talking in languages so much like Latin.

The same way the world speaks English now. When in Rome...

LOL!

So you're telling me they named the area after the bird, and then named another bird after a mistaken identification with a third bird thought to live in the area? Is that your claim?

BTW, it wasn't called Turkey back then.

Except that the Celts didn't speak Latin, they spoke languages related to Latin. Some still speak the old Celtic languages, and the rest speak Germanic languages, which are also related to but also obviously aren't Latin. So it would be like speaking Dutch because English is the predominent language.

BTW, Latin wasn't the dominent language yet when the Celts showed up.
