Multilingual evidence shows perfect convergence on a single sign-concept: Spanish 'señal' / 'señales' (sign / signs), Hindi 'चिह्न' / 'चिन्ह' / 'चिन्हों' (sign, variant spellings), Arabic 'آيَةً' / 'آيَاتٍ' / 'بِآيَاتٍ' (sign / signs / by signs, from the Quranic vocabulary for divine sign), Korean '표적을' / '표적들을' / '표적들과' (sign / signs / with signs), Swahili 'ishara' / 'kwa ishara' (sign / by signs). 77×
