Arabic? If not, then it is a mystery. I will give you an example. We find in
the Hebrew bible the curious name GOZAL (Deut. 32:11), 'nestling, young bird'.
It is curious since the act GAZAL (as in Ezekiel 18:18) is 'rob'. The
(otherwise excellent) standard Hebrew dictionary of Eben Shoshan brings to this
word the "etymology" of Arab JOWZAL. To this, I say: so what.

Ishinan: The above examples are pertinent and excellent proofs to support the
genetic relationship between Hebrew and Arabic!
Arabic GwzAl = young pigeon
الجَوْزَل: فَرْخُ الحَمَام،
In Hebrew
1469
gowzal
go-zawl'
or (shortened) gozal {go-zawl'}; from 'gazal' young (pigeon).
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Arabic Gazal: to cut, to tear
وجَزَل يَجْزِل إِذا قَطَع.
جَزْلة أَي قِطْعَة
وفي حديث الدجال: يَضْرِبُ رجلاً بالسيف فيقطعه جِزْلتين؛ الجِزْلة، بالكسر:
القِطْعة،
In Hebrew
1497
gazal
gaw-zal'
a primitive root; to pluck off; specifically to flay, tear.
BTW I am still waiting for answers to the following allegations
The genetic relationship between Hebrew and Arabic is a mystery
The search for a common ancestral language is futile

Your definitions for a "bastard language" and "tentative languages
