Chill out, Matt, this is a fun thread with very little meant to be taken seriously.

But what I had in mind (with, what’s the mental equivalent of tongue in cheek?) was that if the same thing could be said of ancient Hebrew then all those word plays in Old Testament characters names being like a word but with one letter different, and that sort of thing, would take on a whole new significance.

But I implore you, please don’t divert this thread by exploring that matter any further - that was not what I intended.
