Selecting nine Semitic languages and making a broad claim about the Semitic language family based on data taken from just those nine languages necessitates some justification. Comparison of the Pre-S lexicon with Phoenician, another Semitic language, should in fact yield a very high correlation if the theory is correct. Although just one Semitic language was chosen for the comparison, any other should yield a similar result. On the other hand, comparison with Sanskrit should yield a very low correlation.

The situation with Eurasiatic and Nostratic is different. These are not languages but word lists based on theories of macrofamilies and common roots. One might agree with the existence of such macrofamilies and the language groups that belong to them without necessarily accepting the postulated list of roots. Greenberg and Bomhard agree on the much of the theory and both locate Eurasiatic as a daughter of Nostratic and sister of Semitic. Therefore the expectation is that there would be some correlation, more for Nostratic than Eurasiatic, but nowhere approaching that of Phoenician.
