Isolated comparisons may produce whatever. What should we say about
spanish hijo and greek hyos?

The difference is in repetition and regularity of correspondancies.

I hope you will come up with at least 3-5 more parallells for
syllables like Finnish sii-, Yukaghir uuj- and inuit iy-

In the mean time what do you think about
- Finnish nuori (<?*nïXr-) 'young' and Hebrew n_&_r 'youngster, youth'
- Or Pre-Finnic ins^- 'human' and Hebrew ?_n_s^ 'man, woman' (the
hats are here for 'sh' as in shoe).

I think I made my point. My skepticim is by no means personal. I am
sorry if you have become offended. I sincerely think you should
present your research as a comprehensive package for a serious
audience.

I will not necessarily participate in a discussion on single words
served in small chunks. To evaluate your correspondancies a linguist
knowledgable of all the languages would have to see the whole corpus
at once.
