I find it fascinating that, as Scott Thornberry and Timor mention, that
the word for father is "apa." The word for father in Hebrew is "aba" with
the accent on the first syllable. There is an obvious linguistic connection
between apa and aba, and it would be amazing to really trace peoples'
movements based on linguistics, although I guess that's how such movements
are traced. Any other connections?
