4 vs fear

Negative semantics tied to number 4 observed in several cultures:

• English four sounds similar to fear and fire
• Russian 4 chetire (четыре) sounds similar to chort (чёрт: devil, demon)
• Persian 4 char (چار) sounds similar to cherk (چرک: pus, filth)
• Hindi 4 char चार sounds similar to chor (चोर: thief)
• Arabic/Hebrew 4 arba(a) (أَرْبَعَة) sounds similar to harb/hereb (חֶרֶב/حَرْب: war/sword)
• Chinese 4 si 四 sounds like death (si) 死 and is considered unlucky number in Chinese numerology and all over Far East
• planet Mars (Persian Bahram) is 4th from Sun, symbolised by shield and spear pictogramm ♂ in astrology, since Mars is a god of war and Phobos (fear) and Deimos (terror) are his sons
• sum of digits of unlucky number 13 (1 + 3) equals 4

I expected to find examples in Greek, Latin, Spanish, German, French, but failed, at least there is nothing obvious. Maybe there was something long ago but languages evolved.

No idea where the correlation between numeric value of 4 and all this negativity came from other than my lost Persian ideograms/alphabet hypothesis where 4th letter was called Dew (demon) expressed via a pictogramm of a sword similar to Phoenician 𐤃 or "Crete Linear A" 𐙢 symbol (which was also origin of digit 4 design).

Arabic/Jewish culture would be the first/most influenced by this, which would explain the ideal fit of arba(a)/harb/hereb into my theory. Dew later became Daud/David. Maybe Bahram became harb/hereb.
