Conclusion: hunger originates with a language group shared by Polish females (A-L-I-N-E).

A-L group    Sex           %                 Development Chain
Polish            F              99%            (A; L, I; N; E)
Hawaiian     M             88%            (A; L, I; H; O)
Icelandic       F              80%            (A; L; R, H; T)
Samoan        M              69%           (A; L; U, I; E, F, S)
To Hunger                     69%           (A; L; I; N; E, U)
Curse                             68%            (A; L; K; O, N)
Samoan         F             65%            (A; L; U, I; E, T)
Slave                             65%            (A; L; S; E; O)
Plough                          65%            (A; L; U; G; O; H)


It begins at 69% with the incomplete *A* (Odia), followed by L* (Pashto). A bandgap from 46%-33% when hunger returns at 32% with nälga (estonian), agụụ (igbo), lil ġuħ (maltese), Kiga e (japanese), į alkį (lithuanian), Ākaliki (teluga), nälkään (finnish), and k hladu (czech).
Peak hunger occurs at 5% around the time of the Roman civilization and seems to be affecting the euro-Mediterranean region.

Eventually Hunger decreases through to <1%.

Conclusion: Originating as an A-R linguistic group Cardassian culture begins at 31% fully literate with the proto-Cardassians Lonar and Ranor (Ranor likely the earlier). Rising to a cultural peak at 9% (though they wont refer to themselves as Cardassians until 7%- marking a global unified state, and likely contact with non-Cardassians) before declining down to 1%.
Military/political ranks: Gul and Legit predate 'Cardassia' emerging from the cultural peak prior to 'Global Unification'.
Food and drink: Yamok sauce appears around 4% likely indicating it is an import not produced on the Cardassian homeworld or produced from imported ingredients. Kanar on the other hand emerged on Cardassia around 29% near the beginning of Cardassian culture.

Conclusion: The A-K linguistic Group now includes the Ainu dictionary, Inuit Male, Inuit Female, and Crow (the bird).
At 41% the earliest Ainu word is ak (アㇰ) meaning: younger brother (explicitly possessed form aki or akihi). Ak is also a sound crows make in Australia (Darwin Region) so maybe we are looking at a crow (bird) dialect var. from an arid or southern hemisphere region, even Australia.
Ainu culture peaks at 27% before declining down to 6%. The fire grandmother religion only shows up at 8%.

Oar                               54%                 (A; E; O; R; I; S; U)

Early members of the A-E subgroup have migrated to the Americas. With the emergence of harvesting crops in 'middle-earth' (putting it on the sea floor in the Mediterranean between Spain and Corsica?), the pre-Etruscans going on to develop weaving, and male pre-Hebrew depart south, interacting with the female pre-Ibo who are related to the early male pre-egyptians.
The Ewe develop the Oar, and these discoveries become central to the rise of the Egyptian civilization on the Nile.

Eventually the Pre-Samoans develop the plough... and farming changes radically.

At 37% te oes (Afrikaans) is the earliest to harvest. At 36% ernten (german), *K*R (hebrew), ann kaatana (hindi), aratni (hungarian), si ikore (yoruba). 11% is the peak in crop harvesting, with a decline down to <1%.

Conclusion: The Pillars of Heaven belong to the A-N linguistic subgroup relating them to various peoples, but more specifically the A-I-N-E subgroup including BasqueF along with Dungeon, and to Sing.

At less than 78% the partial A* (sindhi) followed by a huge bandgap. Osmon ustunlari (uzbek) occuring at 34% is the earliest intact thought on the Pillars of Heaven. Peaking at 16% before declining to 5%.

A-N-I-E subgroup      Sex        %               Development Chain
Basque                         F            96%             (A; N, I; E; L; S; O; T, C)
To Sing                                      78%             (A; N; I, E; T; G; U; K)
The Pillars of Heaven             78%            (A; N; I; E; S; L; R)
Dungeon                                   68%            (A; N; I; E; O; U; R, L, D)

If this had been an A-N-E or A-N subgroup I might have concluded the Pillars of Heaven refered to early encounters with Tornadoes by the Deleware mound builders.

Conclusion: HittiteM&F, IncaM, FanteM, and N.W. AboriginalM are the A-U linguistic subgroup where God originates. It surfaces at less than 51% with the partial *A (Sindhi), then after a band gap of 38%-36% again at 34% with Diu (corsican), Dia (irish) and *DA (uyghur).
Then after a bandgap at 30%, we get the idea of God at 28% with Déu (Catalan), Dieu (French), followed by another bandgap rom 26% (esperanto sits here) through to 21%.
Finally uninterupted growth in the idea of God from 19% with peak God at 13% declining in interest down to 1%.

Are we looking at the emergence of Monotheism or the idea that god is Male? A single peoples who have separated across three continents on the Equator as far as they might go from whom the idea of a male God spreads? Or did they encounter something unexpected?

A group      Sex            %                 Development Chain
Hittite         M&F        91%                (A; U, I; T, N)
Inca             M             86%                (A; U; C; I; P)
NW Ab.       M             69%                (A; U; M; N, I)
Fante           M            45% (+U)        (A, U; E, O, F, K)
God                              51%                (A; U; I; D; H; E)

The closest to God are Hittites meaning the A-U subgroup likely migrated away from some place like Gobekli Tepe leaving the Hittite A-U-I subgroup to develop the concept further.
