   The above statement is wrong.
 
  Compare biblical Hebrew "ox" or "two"  SHOR,  SHNAYIM with Arabic 
non-voiced  letter "tha"  . The equivalents of the two examples are " thaur"  
and "ithnein". Im many cases the Hebrew Shin reflects the proto-Semitic Tha.

These roots don't have an Aramaic -$- in the root, but rather an Aramaic=20
-t-.  Note the above word "both."  I think it was clearer in context where
I contrasted the two (Hebrew $/Aramaic t, vs Hebrew $/Aramaic $).
