רֶחֶם 'womb, bowels', is related to רוֹך, 'softness', as is רחמים, 'compassion', and רוּחַ, 'wind, spirit'. What ῥῆγμα 'cleft, chasm', has to do with it is not clear to me.

We don't pronounce the G in LIGHT and this similar too how Hebrew Language handles Greek words containing G.

γλωσσ > γλωσν > λσν > לשן

Daniel 3:5 - לשניא ~ γλῶσσαι

English, indeed, tends to soften g into y as in gard - yard, regal - royal, but this has nothing to do with Hebrew. The letter ן N of לשוֹן is, moreover, possibly not radical.

Isaac Fried, Boston University

Regal & Royal are cognates of מלך.
