This is the first time I've been struck by this, and I'm kinda using my own
notation to describe why, but it strikes me that those two show Titles
could easily be (misconstrued as) cognates by some distant observer...

stargate - /stAr\geIt/ -> {-v+fr} {-v} A r\         {+v+VEL} eI {-v+_front}
farscape - /fAr\skeIp/ -> {-v+fr}      A r\ {-v+fr} {-v+VEL} eI {-v+_front}

stargate - wormhole/adventure/aliens
farscape - wormhole/adventure/aliens
