Modern Hebrew:

spells all sorts of interesting words, like:

Arabia
to pawn, pledge
to be dark, become evening
swarms of wild beasts
evening
multitude
to mix, confuse

[`arvi, `aravi] 1 Arab. 2 Arabian, Arabic.

What's in a name, hmmm?

Just like with DNA, switch one of the building blocks around and you get something quite different:

[`ivri] Hebrew, Jewish, Israelite

Abraham's DNA via Ishmael and Esav surely must have become 'mixed and confused' as it were, as revealed in the alef-beit, heh. :-O

As far a Suleiman the MAGnificent is concerned, he 'rebuilt the walls and gates of Jerusalem'. Ooops.
