Name hope vs. islands law

Paul, I was generalizing in terms of the relationship. What I meant was Aramaic and Hebrew belong to the Semitic Family while Italian and Spanish belong to the family of Romance languages. Because of that, we also see strong similarities. For Example, the word "Pizza" is same in Italian and Spanish - La Pizza. But when it comes to the plural form, they differ. Italian would say "Le Pizze" while Spanish would say "las pizzas." The definite article for the plural form of Italian and Spanish are different from each other. Just like this, Aramaic word "Kahna" will become "Ha Kohen" in Hebrew due to differentiation in definite article. Same word. But the change comes as the result of differentiation in definite article.

Paul, If I particularize this subject, then I believe that Aramaic and Hebrew is just like the relationship between my native tongue "Malayalam" and "Tamil" (the language of neighboring state of Kerala).
