I am not claiming any nbr or percentage of similar words. The Native vocabularies were not that large anyway. I am claiming similar patterns, especially of spacial orientation and religious order. These proved to be the foundations of language from which many if not most other "words" were derived. Unless I am badly misinformed, there is no computer program that can track this type of development. Without the cultural insight, it just a lot of noise. It's one thing if 2 languages have a similar sounding word with a similar meaning. It's another thing entirely if the similar sounding word also ties in to a direction, a number/position, or a body part. If it ties into all 3, then I am forced to consider the possibility that at some point in history, there was a common link. Above I have pointed out possible links between NA and Semitic tongues. Yet Semitics did not exist in isolation. I have also noticed Greek, Egyptian, Turkish, Hindi, and Etruscan correspondences. Often overlapping. Because of the Hebrew Bible and the large nbr of Arabic speakers, there is simply more readily available source material for comparison. Traditional linguistics can't be ignored, but in certain cases they have reached the limits of there specialty. I had never heard of P-Celt and Q-Celt until I read Fell's America B.C. That's not something a layman would necessarily recognize. But from my point of view it fell into a pattern of adjacent consonants which "interchange". Which suggests that those who initially organized the alphabetic sequence were aware of this phenomena. Example...
S/T---Q/P---M/N
S--Q--M (t) Sekmet----Kemet
T--P--N (t) Tepnut-----Punt
Thus it seems more empirically logical that Sekmet and Tefnut are closely associated, if not types of "twin" goddesses with opposing attributes. Also indicating a possible symmetry between Kemet and Punt.
