"All attempts to connect Ea with Yah and Yahweh are idle conjectures without any substantial basis"

An unintentionally ironic statement, I'm sure.

The connections are far more than "idle conjectures"; linguistics alone strongly suggests a connection. Both Ea and Yah are vocally indistinguishable. That fact alone renders the statement above a fallacy.

• the above quotation should be removed from the original article. It is, in itself, an idle conjecture.
