I noticed a massive pattern in the oldest ancestor of our languages (Proto-Indo-European): words combining 'K' and breathy 'H' sounds almost always relate to location, direction, or pointing. Traditional linguistics treats these as separate words by pure accident. My theory is Root Monogenesis: tens of thousands of years ago, there was only one single prehistoric parent word with a 'K' sound that literally meant 'point to a location.' Over millennia, early humans recycled this one sound to name the tool that looks at a location (the eye), the place it sits (the head), the act of pointing with sound (to say), the space itself (here), and the search for an unknown location (questions like where, who, and what)."
