A little due diligence on xft, 'face', shows it is a word of _rare_ occurrence listed in Wörterbuch with a question mark (?), indicating the authors had doubts as to the exact meaning of the word. This word, whatever its exact meaning may be for the Late Period, is not attested before Late Egyptian (!), which hardly allows it to be considered in very early and highly speculative comparisons.

x_f_t is the only way to express : in front of, face to face to,
as early as Old Egyptian.
It has a frequent derivative : x_f_t_y : adversary, enemy : that whom one stands face to face to

To sum up, my message was entirely justified and accurate.
