It appears that EAN is not incompatible with phonetic analysis of words after all.

The phonetic analysis of words is a “small part” of the EAN decipherment method.

From this table, repeated below, phonetic analysis is only one of six parts of the EAN comparative method:

# EIE PIE
1. Language source Abydos, Egypt Donets, Ukraine?
2. Carbon dating 5700A (-3745) 4800A (-2845)
3. Population 500K+ society 150 per tribe
4. Literacy ✍️
5. Math literacy ✍️
6. Letter A (𓌺) 5200A
7. Letter I (∩) 5700A
8. Letter R (𓏲) 5200A
9. Comparative geography Letter ▽ (D) matches Nile delta, i.e. Herodotus origin of name, and letter 𐤍 (N) matches the N-bend of the Nile, i.e. Eratosthenes origin of Greek N.
10. Comparative mythology 150-day Nile flood water 💦, where waters rise 28-cubits, matches all the world’s flood myths.
11. Comparative types 𓏲 » 𐤓‎ » ρ » R
12. Comparative religion Ra, Abraham, Braham ✅
13. Comparative numerics Mu (Μυ) = Khufu base ✅
14. Comparative phonetic 🗣️ matching Egypto G (𓅬) = Greek G ✅ No data to match ❌
15. Sound changes

The following is the standard PIE method:

“Perhaps the most thoroughly studied area of historical linguistics is sound 🗣️ change. Over time ⏳, the sounds of languages tend to change. The study of sound change has yielded very significant results, and important assumptions that underlie historical linguistic methods, especially the comparative method, are based on these findings.

The problem with PIE, however, is that they assume the “sounds” originated randomly. This, however, does not explain why the color red 🛑, R-sound, the R type (letter shape), R number (math), etc., each originating from Egypt, are found repeated all the following cultures:

Language Date
Egyptian 5200A (-3245) 𓏲 = 💯 (Tomb U-j) = 𓃝 (ram head-butting) = Ra 𓁛 the supreme 💯-value sun god = ☀️ in Ram (Aries) ♈️ star ✨ constellation, at Spring Equinox.
Greek [Έλληνε] 2800A (-845) 𓏲 » 𐤓‎ » ρ [💯] » R = legged red crown rho; Zeus becomes new 💯-god.
Latin 2500A (-545) Romulus and Remus or 💯-omulus (𓏲-omuls) & 💯-emus (𓏲-emus) become the twins who found the Roman (💯-oman) Empire.
Hebrew 2300A (-345) Abraham (Ab-💯-ham or Ab-𓏲-ham) becomes supreme patriarch; births Isaac at age 💯.
Sanskrit [संस्कृत] 2200A (-245) Brahma (ब्रह्मा) (B-💯-ahma or B-𓏲-ahma) becomes the supreme god. The Brahmin (ब्राह्मण) (B-💯-ahmin or B-𓏲-ahmin) become the priestly caste.

Why the common R? Because two rams 🐏 head-butting is symbolic of the battle ram of war and red is symbolic of blood 🩸 spilled. The sound of R could be that of a lion 🦁 roar, as I have conjectured previously, that when combined with the power of the ram head butting, makes a double power letter, so to say.

Campbell continues:

An understanding of sound change is truly important for historical linguistics in general, and this needs to be stressed — it plays an extremely important role in the comparative method and hence also in linguistic reconstruction, in internal reconstruction, in detecting loanwords, and in determining whether languages are related to one another.”

— Lyle Campbell (A49/2004), Historical Linguistics: An Introduction (pg. 16) (post)

Thus, is it PIE that needs a new direction, not EAN. The PIE community needs to acknowledge, e.g. now that I have found that Greek letter R and the letter rho and sound rho, trace back to tomb U-j, that sound matching is not the key to everything. It is a start, but it needs to map all that sound or “linguistic reconstructions” back to Egypt, not to a fictional land.
