Nature:
'arD = land (eretz ืืจืฅ)
sama = sky (shamayim ืฉืืืื)
leel = night (layla ืืืื)
zeet = oil (zayit ืืืช is the olive)
mile7 = salt (melach ืืื)
Life:
sane = year (shana ืฉื ื)
zamaan = time (zman ืืื)

kalb = dog (kelev ืืื)
lsaan = tongue (lashon ืืฉืื)
sinn = tooth (shen ืฉื)
3aDem = bone (etzem ืขืฆื)
Count to ten:
waa7ad = one (echad ืืื)
tlaate = three (shalosh ืฉืืืฉ)
sab3a = seven (sheva ืฉืืข)
3ashara = ten (eser ืขืฉืจ)
la7me = meat (lechem ืืื 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) ๐
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 ๐ฅ
Which one surprised you? ๐
