Coincidences are common and very confusing when looking for
relationships between languages. As the common ancestor of two
languages recedes further into the past, their shared history of
related words disappears "under the noise" of unrelated words that look
similar or the same. An example of this sort of coincidence is Arabic
"al" = Spanish "el" = "the".
