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).

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

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.

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

I started in Genesis 1 verse one just to see how long it took to get a match. earth (English) = erets (pronunciation in Hebrew) in Gen1:1. It didn't take very long at all. Of course it means nothing to you I'm sure. Like Lost Tribe, I'm not going to spend a day going through it listing a couple hundred of them for you just for you to say "coincidence". Look and you shall find, if you don't want to find, you won't know it when you see it.
