Claims that Al-Jarrah's paper is "AI" are false. The research was published in Arabic in May 2020 (Pre-LLM).

Academia dissects language's corpse; Al-Jarrah found its pulse.

They retracted this to save their dogma of "Arbitrariness." By linking breath (/h/) to life (H2O), he terrified their cold materialism.

Retraction is just a paradigm in panic. The idea breathes on.

This study redefines morphological theory. "Sound symbolism lies at the core of word formation. The central question is not whether such a relationship exists, but rather how to uncover its subtle manifestations across languages." doi.org/10.1057/s415...
