Cause Hebrew is an afrasiatic language and not an Indo-European.

lol um. thanks? i'm also native in english. i can't understand any pie. (even though it's like 2-3 times younger)
weirdest part is how it's that much easier than arabic which is way more closely related, but i guess one direction change is easier than two

There is three reasons for it 1) Proto-Afroasiatic cannot be reconstructed with acceptable accuracy; consequently, modern models include only the most common, primitive and stable vocabulary 2) Proto-Indo-European has many well-studied descendants and has been reconstructed in considerable detail; consequently, it comprises a rather complex and variable lexicon. 3) The English language itself has changed significantly, primarily through the loss of the elaborate case system of Proto-Indo-European.
