Edit: I did discover this list of some coincidences. Not the entire list from my expired bookmark but enough to make the point.
Coming just across a coincidence it looks like half of our words is the result of some coincidences.
Came across this: Cheyenne: p- poeso- cat; p as in English "spoon" (unaspirated)
Poeso has the exact but for one character spelling as the
Dutch word "poes" (cat), just also like in English "spoon", unaspirated.
