Eve/Eʋe: Numerical Coincidence Or Historical Vacuum?: Why Is eve [number two] in Aja-Tado Phonemically And Semantically That Si

At times, simple things are not the simplest to explain. To be specific, there is no other language on earth where number two is called eve except with the Aja-Tado people group in West Africa. Curiously, the second human being created by God, according to Biblical accounts, is called Eve. Here is the puzzle: How come that eve, in pre-colonial Eʋ , is semantically and phonemically like the Biblical Eve? Numerical coincidence or historical vacuum? Now, how to explain the similitude between the Biblical Eve and eve the number two] in Aja-Tado language is the premise of this book. There should be a path to explore: deductive reasoning. Deductive reasoning is the process by which we bring together different pieces of knowledge and infer conclusions that were only latent or implicit in what we already believed (Evans, Handley, Harper, 2001, p. 935). Could Eve/Eʋ be a numerical coincidence or ethnographic drama?
