funny hebrew connections

It looks like my Hebrew class is going to have only 3 people in it this semester.  That means more than 10 people dropped from last semester's intro class.  At this rate, I might be the only person taking Hebrew III and IV over the next year.

Thinking about this made me think about not wanting to be alone in my Hebrew class.  Then I thought of the Hebrew word for "being alone" which is BAD...pronounced with a long "a".  (Read this as "Being alone in Hebrew is BAD").  Of course, the hebrew and english have nothing to do with each other, but it is a funny coincidence for me.  

Then I thought of a couple of other funny ones.  Such as the hebrew word for "she" is pronounced HE in Hebrew. And the Hebrew word for prince or ruler is TSAR which sounds like the Roman or Russian "tsar" or "czar" both of which come from "Caesar."  This last one might have some connection, but I doubt it.

Being alone in Hebrew is levad לבד and not bad בד

also tzar in hebrew english and russian is all the same word, like telephone is the same...
