Russian and Ukrainian correlations with Hebrew are expected, given the major influence of the Khazar culture.

See, having know Ukrainian, you have no trouble understanding the concept which presents a problem for scholars who think in Roman- Germanic languages.

Hi,


As for weqatal, it is about highly assured events. Again, the
construction of "Exclamation + PT" is common in Russian for very
strong commands (ну, сделал, быстро!).

Interesting. We have that in Ukrainian as well "zrobuv bigom!". We have something like it in English although not exactly the same word for word "Get it done quickly!" rather than "Do it quickly!".
