There was a time when it was believed that all languages derived from Hebrew, so linguists were trying to document links between Indo-European languages and Hebrew. Then it turned out to be a farce.
That's why nowadays if you try to tie anything to Hebrew, linguists will roll their eyes, "Not this again." Think you're a religious fanatic.
But currently, 300 word correspondences between Uto-Aztecan and Egyptian, 1,000 between Uto-Aztecan and Hebrew. This has the support of several non-LDS linguists.
And FARMS is wisely not funding this research.

I believe he's Mexican, and did some work comparing the name of one of the jungle cats in Nahuatl to a Hebrew word for a large cat. I'll see if I can find it after I teach today.
