Cognate

The English language is cognate to the German language.

I suppose that even Wolof and Greenlandic may share a cognate.

The Hindi word for god is cognate to the Persian word for demon.

The Arabic word for meat is cognate to the Hebrew word for bread.

Is the Greek word κᾰκός a cognate of the Latin word cacō?

If you like linguistic controversy, maybe read the article "Toward a Comparative Japanese-Austronesian I," which demonstrates that Japanese is cognate with the Austronesian language family.

It is the 15th of February of 2015, on Lulu Island. I am more interested in cosmology now than in astronomy. Physical cosmology is the "study of the origin, evolution, large-scale structures and dynamics, and ultimate fate of the universe." The vast cosmic "watershed" in which Earth finds itself is called Laniakea, from Hawaiian for "immeasurable heaven." (Hawaiian 'lani' is cognate with Tagalog's 'langit'.)

"Toward a Comparative Japanese-Austronesian I" by Takao Kawamoto demonstrates that Japanese is cognate with the Austronesian family of languages, the Pacific languages. The demonstration bases itself on pairing a few hundreds of words of Old Japanese (OJ) with words of Proto-Austronesian (PA) or one of its branches. What was this world like in those ancient times? I have heard theories that in ancient Pre-Columbian times, Pacific Islanders made voyages reaching as far as the Pacific coasts of the Americas. I believe such did happen. So, there were likely contacts between Polynesian tribes and Amerindian tribes. "Linguistic Evidence for a Prehistoric Polynesia—Southern California Contact Event" by Kathryn Klar and Terry L. Jones expounds on the theme, mentioning the Amerindian language groups Chumashan and Gabrielino in southern California. Some Pre-Columbian contact between the Americas and Polynesia is evident from the ubiety of the South American sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) in Polynesian archaeological sites, most notably from Mangaia, Cook Islands (circa 1000 CE).

The Arabic word "Allah" is cognate to the Hebrew word "Elohim" and the Aramaic word "Elaha," which mean the same thing.

This explanation provoked further great hilarity among the members of the committee. And the frankness was admired by many with which Louit, on his return, confessed to having found, in the course of his excursion, three barns in all, of which two contained empty bottles and the third the skeleton of a goat. But in other quarters this and cognate statements were viewed in another and less friendly light.
