Done my best to read the complete article, but when cifers are getting involved, I just loose track. Though I can grasp some of the contents. We've had comparisons before, of which you said they were accidental resemblances. I looked twice in surprise at today's word "ort".

ort
"remains of food left from a meal," c.1440, cognate with early Du. ooraete, Low Ger. ort, from or-, privative prefix, + etan "to eat."

Ort is a word I never heard of before which is exactly written like German "Ort" meaning "place". Would you know where the German word Ort comes from? It really can be so confusing.
