Salzmank - Re: 1. What connects these words? Ox, Window, Hand, Eye, Hook They're all Phoenician "magic" signs which eventually aided development of the modern alphabet
A Ox, B House, C Throw stick, D Door E Window, F Hook, Z Weapon, H Fence, I Hand, K Palm of hand, L Ox-goad, M Water, N Fish S Post or support O Eye P Mouth Q Knot or monkey ...
& more, there were 22 in total.

Haven't tackled #2 yet.  Right on the money, with the one caveat that hook can also work for u (along with v, y, and w); those five are the five English-language vowels.
