The Word KILL in Numerolgy: 9/11 Meets 44

K = 11
I = 9
L = 12
L = 12

KILL = 11+9+12+12 = 44
44 = The number of assassination.
Kill sums the number 44 with an 11 and a 9.
Is it by chance?
Or is there more to our language than we know?
Is there an association between letters and numbers that has not been taught to us?

On a related note...
DIE = 4+9+5 = 18 = 1+8 = 9
DEATH = 4+5+1+20+8 = 38 = 3+8 = 11
DIE = 9
DEATH = 11
DIE/DEATH = 9/11
Again, is this just coincidence?
So much history, so much to know.  Where is a linguist?  Any connection between letters and numbers in the creation of language?
