Re: conlang/natlang coincidences

Has anyone found coincidences across languages - for instance the Omeina suffix
-eta (signifying a collecion of related objects, for instance ilma "bright
star" > ilmeta "constellation (especially a notable one)". Not only is the
suffix phonemically the same as the Basque suffix -eta, but means the same as
well!
