It doesn't seem to -- at least not in the dictionary that I have (which is a small one, to be sure.)

Uhm... well... the two techniques are so vastly different that they are really different crafts. And the tools are used in very different ways.

10 million years? That predates Sahelanthropus tchadensis, the earliest known hominid -- the time of the gorilla-like Chororapithecus abyssinicus.

You determined this from the molars? Or jawbones?

...and that all the hominds did this? Australopithecus? Erectus? Neanderthals? What cultural or forensic evidence are you using to support this?

"men/man" is a recent word for humans.

Sorry, that comes from the Old Norse word "vikingr." I doubt the Neanderthals and Erectus and Habilus used any Old Norse words.

That's a fairly recent addition from proto-Germanic:

From the Latin meaning "together" and "center" and has nothing to do with hundreds or cone huts.

I don't see how you've proved any of this or identified its origins. You've stated conclusively you "know" this happened at a time long before humans ever existed; at a time when our lineage consisted of proto-apes. You then make some statements about what sounds were made without giving any references to "are their mouths capable of making these sounds and do they have the structures (hyoid arch) and free tongue that need to be present in order to make those sounds.

> Sn = O-Sn (ocean),
No. If there'd been an "o" sound in front they would have used one of the vowel designates. Although they didn't put them in the middle of the words, they put them at the beginning of words -- and at the end of words, too.
