That is really interesting! Thanks!

On a semi-related note, I have always been amazed at how some languages (at least to my ear and eye) often don't sound anything like they look (Gaelic and Finnish for example). I was listening to a Finnish musical group and did some reading, and discovered that there is a theory that Finnish and *Japanese* share a common linguistic ancestor!

Not sure how that could have happened, but I bet there is a real story there!

It is said that Finns are most closely related to Hungarians than any other ethnic group.
