Subject: Some confirmation on statistics From: <A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ">[EMAIL PROTECTED] </A> (Mark Constantino) Date: 5/18/02 11:24 PM Pacific Daylight Time Message-id: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
In Malay "aso" means chicken and "manok" means dog. In Tagalog, which is a branch of Malay if my idea of migration of the Malay peoples is correct, "aso" means dog and "manok" means chicken. This reinforces the idea that the languages are related, and some dyslexic switched the two words in one tribe or the other. It cannot have happened by mere coincidence, the two pointers switching the two references exactly. Similarly, in not 2 but 3 totally unrelated languages, Tagalog, English, and Japanese, I found [obscure boss, but yes, they exist] 3 references to the idea of "skill" or "greatness" or "Creator" linked to each other phonetically and contextually. That is, "Who is Segoy" [who is Creator?] <==> "dare ga sugoi" [who is skilled?], "sinong galing" [who is skilled?] <==> "sinungaling" [liar.]. This coming from the guy widely accepted as the person who discovered a strong proof for the existence of the ideal universe and God. It is impossible to compute the odds of this occurrence, unless one was to suppose it was _planted_, which of course it was, to my thinking. I would like some sort of confirmation from people more skilled in linguistics or math on this or any other list.
