1. English Words in Hebrew
Ilk from Elack
ilk (adj.)
Old English ilca "the same" (pron.), from Proto-Germanic *ij-lik (compare German eilen), in which the first element is from the PIE demonstrative particle *i- (see yon) and the second is that in Old English -lic "form" (seelike (adj.)). Of similar formation are each, which and such, but this word disappeared except in Scottish and thus did not undergo the usual southern sound changes. Phrase of that ilk implies coincidence of name and estate, as in Lundie of Lundie; it was applied usually to families, so that by c. 1790 ilk began to be used with the meaning "family," then broadening to "type, sort."
English word:
Ilca, Ilk, meaning "the same".
Hebrew word:
"elack" meaning "and so on".
In Hebrew the vowels are elastic, "eleck" could easily have been pronounced the same as the English "Ilca" and had almost the same meaning.

2. Ousous [Esau] in Tyre
'Hypsuranius {Samemroumous] inhabited Tyre, and contrived huts out of reeds and rushes and papyrus: and he quarrelled with his brother Ousous, who first invented a covering for the body from skins of wild beasts which he was strong enough to capture. And when furious rains and winds occurred, the trees in Tyre were rubbed against each other and caught fire, and burnt down the wood that was there. And Ousous took a tree, and, having stripped off the branches, was the first who ventured to embark on the sea; and be consecrated two pillars to fire and wind, and worshipped them, and poured libations of blood upon them from the wild beasts which he took in hunting.

4. Shinar (Isaiah 11:11) as Place of Exile and the Cimmerians
The Aramaic Tragum Yehonatan (an authoritative source) translates Shinar as Pontus in Genesis 10:10, 14:1, 14:14 though in Genesis 14:2 it renders Shinar as Babel i.e. Babylon. others also render Shinar as Pontus, see:

Shinar could therefore also be identified with Pontus meaning the same area later known as Gomar and associated with the Cimmerians.

5. Red Heads Sacrificed by Pagan Egyptians
The Myths and History of Red Hair
http://www.themythsandhistoryofredhair.co.uk/theancientworld.html
James Frazer's "The Golden Bough." In it he states that red-haired men were burnt and sacrificed by the Egyptians:
"With regard to the ancient Egyptians we have it on the authority of Manetho that they used to burn red-haired men and scatter their ashes with winnowing fans, and it is highly significant that this barbarous sacrifice was offered by the kings at the grave of Osiris. We may conjecture that the victims represented Osiris himself, who was annually slain, dismembered, and buried in their persons that he might quicken the seed in the earth."
Later in the book he elaborates on this:
"Again the theory that the pig, originally Osiris himself, afterwards came to be regarded as an embodiment of his enemy Typhon, is supported by the similar relation of red-haired men and red oxen to Typhon. For in regards to the red-haired men who were burned and whose ashes were scattered with winnowing-fans, we have seen fair grounds for believing that originally, like the red-haired puppies killed at Rome in the spring, they were representatives of the corn-spirit himself, that is, of Osiris, and were slain for the express purpose of making the corn turn red or golden."
