"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?
