To be frank,
you don't sound like a macro-comparative linguist.
A conspicuous and controversial feature of macro-comparative linguists is
that they tend to think that all languages originate in one particular
language spoken long ago in Africa.
This is known as monogenesis.
Obviously this is not coherent with Omni-Pan-Chronic Hebrew originating in
Boston, MA (USA) in [your own street and number].
I'm afraid you live in the wrong place at the wrong time!?
Boston is not the aboriginal homeland of mankind, hey??
