--- Quote from: muman613 on July 10, 2009, 12:03:50 PM ---I was just thinking about these Hebrew words and their potential connections in the Holy tongue [Lashon HaKodesh]


טבע Teva                                     Nature
תיבה Tevah                                   Ark
תאבה Tiva Ta'ava                  Desire
גאווה Gaavah                                 Arrogance


These words seem very similar to me and often when I hear them I sometimes have to think about the word in context in order to understand what is being said.

--- End quote ---
The word "Teva" doesn't sound that similar if you pronounce the "ע" (which in modern hebrew most people neglect to do). The last word, most likely was pronounced "Ga'awa" in the ancient dialect. But there are certainly other examples.
