If one looks far enough for phonetic and semantic resemblances, one will find them. Mark Rosenfelder has some nice examples in Deriving Proto-World.

The translators of the Bible don't know what a Teraphim is, so they either generically translate
it as 'Image' or transliterate it and according to the Lexicon entry for Ephod , "Probably of foreign derivation".

Ephod and Teraphim both share the same root word, "ποδός" (Podos) "Foot"

ποδῶν (Podon ) become a Foot stool, הדם (hadom ) *H1916 or a ἕδος (Edos) "sitting-place"

Psalms 99:5 - ὑποποδίῳ
Exalt ye the LORD our God, and worship at his footstool for he is holy.

The odd location in Genesis 48:7 called 'PADAN' , according too the Lexicon
entry, 'unknown etymology' meaning Plain.

πεδίον 'plain'
πέδον 'ground, earth'
ποδός 'Foot'
ἕδος 'Sitting Place"'
Εδεμ "Eden * עדן


πεδίον is a common translation of בקעה "biqah" and it's dialectic cognate is παγεύς "Pageus" (Pedestal)
עקב "aqeb" (Heel/Foot) and Bike 'Bi-ped' K>p

ιχνος. - Ichnos "track, footsteps"
ἰνάχου > ἰνάχοβ > Ιακωβ > ויעקב "Jacob"

Achilles Heel
Ἀχιλλεύς = אצלות "Joint"

-Hebrew-
Baca (בקע) "To cleft"
Baca (בכא) "mulberry"
Baca (בכה) "Bacchus"

-Etruscan-
Faca "to cleft" [az96]
Baca "Berry" [lrp 57]

"podos" is in the genitive case or of-case: "of a foot". Not the best reference form. Try the nominative (subject) pous or the accusative (object) poda. All singular, I may add.

Greek pous (nom. sg.), pod- (stem for other cases and numbers)
Cognate with
Latin pês (nom. sg.), ped-
Sanskrit pât, pad-
and Germanic forms like English "foot".

Hebrew regel doesn't look anything like this.

Regel means 'straighten or bend ( the knees) hence *Regula and Ruler.

The name 'Etruscan' is related too the word 'Thresh' from Proto Germanic, 'Threskan . in Greek, this is τρέχω (Trekho)
and in Phoenician it's דרך (Darak) 'to tread.

דרך (Darak)
1. to tread (a press)
2. to bend ( a bow) ' Arcus (Bow, Arch) * Target

Phoenicians imported Wine from the Etruscans , they call it תירש (Tyrus) "Tyrrhenian wine".
that appears in Genesis 27:28 , called the 'Best of wines' in Numbers 18:12.

* Grape-stomping is done with the Legs

Threshing - Wikipedia -- human threshing is done by beating the grain with handheld flails. A flail is two wooden rods connected with a short chain. Farm-animal threshing is done by getting the animals to walk on the grain.

Ethan, all you are doing is showing that you can derive any word from any other word.
