1. “Arafat” and “Pharaoh” share the same letters in their respective roots (as the
names are written in Hebrew). The meanings of various words, derived from
the respective roots, differ. However they all have adverse meanings in the
Hebrew language.

2. One could alternatively assert that Hebrew words with root P.R.A, having the
negative meaning expounded earlier, in fact evolved from the name “Pharaoh”
(and the related adversive experience that the Israelites had with the ancient
Egyptian kings). Obviously, this alternative explanation cannot be ruled out
unless one demonstrated that the Hebrew language, with the above root, had
preceded the time of the pharaohs.

These are all coincidences … maybe.
