* There is plenty of evidence against your 'possibilities'. Your possibilities cannot be be 100% disproved, but neither can the possibility that Qohelet was an alien from a planet called Pnegamulch.

George, this is very disappointing. The proper transliteration is P*neg!?a-mulkh, with the * representing a reverse glottal flip, and the !? representing the tri-uvular click (it's amazing the sounds that can be generated by beings with three uvulae). It's also clear that Qohelet was influenced by High P*neg!?a-mulkhian, rather than the later colonial dialects from their settlements in the Gamadean cluster. Please be more careful of your facts in the future.

Sorry... sometimes I get this list confused with the sci-fi list I'm on, not sure why...
