Karl: This excerpt of the work by Isaac Mozeson might help: The easiest forms of עין [A]YiN ( eye),to see are in Dravidian. There’s the Hindi aan kha (eye), similar in Guriati. The L of EYELET is from oeil, the French eye. OCUL(AR), (MON)OCLE and OGLE also display the Noon/ N to L change seen in the connection between bank and Old English balca (bank), or that between man and male. See a score of these Noon/ N to L shifts at Appendix B. For the moment, consider guttural Ayin+L instead of the expected vowel Ayin + N. In English we have guttural-L sight words like OCULAR, and OGLE. There is, for one example, the Mohawk eye, okara. ( Phil Van Riper assures us that this won’t be the last of the Mohican cognates). That vowel-guttural-liquid comes out as glahz in Russian. Reversing this guttural-liquid seeing term is a common verb of EYEING, with no IE “root:” LOOK. It's not hard to see EYE to EYE with the following versions of עין [A]YiN or GHaYiN which contain 1) a vowel, CH,G or K, 2) a Y, J or H and/or 3) an N, M or L: taken from www.edenics.net Jonathan E Mohler On May 15, 2013, at 9:25 AM, K Randolph wrote:
