Hello all

It is very possible to have words in two different languages sound
similar and have a similar meaning and have no connection.    I am
currently St'at'imc and I am a native German speaker.   Every few weeks
I come across words that sound very much like a German word and some
that sound and mean roughly the same thing.   The two languages have
nothing in common

Example

St'at'imc - ti7texw
German - richtig

Both meaning right or correct, both sounding almost the same
