Originally posted by Antonis No, I think he means it the other way around. English originated from Hebrew. Sadly, there are so many individuals who believe in a Master language that spawned all the others, even those who preceeded it(I don't say that English was used before Hebrew, of course). I don't know if that is the case here, but usually those theories tend to recycle themselves and other, more absurd theories are born by the time...

Well, both germanic and Semitic languages are Indo-European, and as such there are bound to have some words that are similar, not because they originated from each other per se, but because they both originated from a common language. I wouldn't dare to presume any more than that. However, Indo-European is not a Master Language, just a possible start point. One also have to be aware that words from different languages may sound the same or similar, but to have different meaning, hence they cannot be used as a possible proof for anything. For example, in Bulgarian "az" /that sounds like "ass"/ means "I", while in English has a completely different meaning. So, it doesn't matter that both English and Bulgarian are Indoeuropean languages, the said sonoral similarity is nothing more than coincidence.

What is the main idea here? That Hebrew originated from English?

Bull Shi---ne!

All of this brings to mind yet another American word combination comprised of two words whose initials are B and S.

It is just a funny word play, words can mean different things in different languages.
