Minimal research turns up the Old English word, eorthe. Now show a pattern in a predonderence of Germanic and Celtic languages, living and dead, of "ere" becoming "eor", "t" becoming "th" (or the local equivalent), and "s" becoming "e" (which was pronounced in Old English).
No doubt you'll tell me to "do my own research", or some such nonsense. But it's your research. You made the claim. You prove it.

Another coincidence. OK. Like I said, we could go all day like this.

Every example I show, you'll say "coincidence". I don't care if you believe it or not. End of conversation
