English is not Hebrew. Hebrew is a root based language. I also think that we should leave here "Akkadian" alone.

I take it that by that you mean that you consider a Hebrew ayin at
the end
of a word or name to be a rock-solid consonant. But is it?

As a common word, )RB( in Hebrew is like erbe in Akkadian. Both
mean "four"
, and they have only two key consonants: RB.

The words "farm," "form," "from," "firm," "frame," and "film" all have two key consonants, F
and M. Therefore, they must all be derivatives of the same two- letter root.

This is the logic you're using. I hope you see the problem.
