Body and beasts:
damm = blood (dam דם)
kalb = dog (kelev כלב)
lsaan = tongue (lashon לשון)
sinn = tooth (shen שן)
3aDem = bone (etzem עצם)

Count to ten:
waa7ad = one (echad אחד)
tlaate = three (shalosh שלוש)
sab3a = seven (sheva שבע)
3ashara = ten (eser עשר)
la7me = meat (lechem לחם is bread. Same root, different dinner)

The pattern from part one holds: Hebrew sh is often Arabic s (shalom / salaam, shemesh / shams), and Hebrew tz is Arabic D or S ('arD / eretz, 3aDem / etzem) 💛

la7me and lechem are the trap. One root, l-7-m, that settled on "meat" in Arabic and "bread" in Hebrew. Beit Lechem, Bethlehem, is beet la7em in Arabic 🔥
