The song of fate may change its melody, but it never stops.

Somewhat inspired by Arayaz's recentish thread about our conlanging-keeping habits.

I never post about my conlangs for instance bc I feel like either I don't ...

This one has probably been done before
air "water" vs. air

Coptic ⲙⲏⲣ (mēr) "desert" vs. French mer "sea" Conversely, Egyptian dšrt "the Egyptian desert" and Pan-Euro desert- (Latinate in origin) are false cognates.
