The car commercial. The one with the slogan, "Wider is better." (Just
when you want to remember a name....) They say something like, "Today the
onscription still reads..." and they say Wider is Better in Egyptian.
(Apparently)  It sounds a lot like Vulcan to me, although I haven't
studied the language personally, and am only basing this upon a
commercial; It is why I asked if anyone else noticed a similarity due to
some on this list's language education.
