Interesting, Peter. I would expect it some because the Aramaic and Egyptian
lanaguages derive from the pre-Babel Hebrew script. Thank you.
Shabbat Shalom,

I can't speak for Aramaic, but I know that Arabic has all the following
words, not sure of all the spellings:
آدم 'âdam = "human being"; "Adam"
آدمة 'âdama(t) = not "ground" but "skin"
So almost the same word plays work. This implies that they are common at
least to West Semitic, although perhaps 'adama has not survived in all
languages.
