Editing False cognate (section)

==False cognates used in the coinage of new words==
The coincidental similarity between false cognates can sometimes be used in the creation of new words ([[Neologism|neologization]]). For example, the Hebrew word '''{{lang|he|דַּל}}''' ''dal'' ("poor") (which is a false cognate of the phono-semantically similar English word ''dull'') is used in the new [[Israeli Hebrew]] expression אין רגע דל ''en rega dal'' (literally "There is no '''poor''' moment") as a [[phono-semantic matching]] for the English expression ''Never a '''dull''' moment''.<ref>Page 91 of {{cite book|last=Zuckermann|first=Ghil'ad|author-link=Ghil'ad Zuckermann|year=2003|title=[[Language Contact and Lexical Enrichment in Israeli Hebrew]]|publisher=[[Palgrave Macmillan]]|isbn=9781403917232}}</ref>

Similarly, the Hebrew word דיבוב ''dibúv'' ("speech, inducing someone to speak"), which is a false cognate of (and thus etymologically unrelated to) the phono-semantically similar English word ''dubbing'', is then used in the Israeli phono-semantic matching for ''dubbing''. The result is that in Modern Hebrew, דיבוב ''dibúv'' means "dubbing".<ref>Page 96 of {{cite book|last=Zuckermann|first=Ghil'ad|author-link=Ghil'ad Zuckermann|year=2020|title=[[Revivalistics: From the Genesis of Israeli to Language Reclamation in Australia and Beyond]]|publisher=[[Oxford University Press]]|location=New York|isbn=9780199812790}}</ref>
