"purported tehom/tiamat cognate"

I gather, Dave, that you are disputing that these are 
cognates (despite the fact that most have recognized 
the situation for over a century). 

Why? Is there something in the comparative linguistics 
which is not clear on the matter? Could you be precise 
on your dispute?
