    testing to see if i can put EMOJI in the SUBJ line

    it's very curious that EMOJI sounds like IMAGE


    --------- Are there other coincidences like it ???

    i guess... MUCH and MUCHO is one.

    One of the go-to examples is that the Persian word بد /bæd/ is identical in sound and in meaning to the English word bad, despite being unrelated.

    And as Etymonline mentions at its entry for "bad":

    Among other coincidental matches with English are Korean _mani_
    "many," Chinese _pei_ "pay," Nahuatl (Aztecan) _huel_ "well,"
    Maya _hol_ "hole."
