Ok, I do understand the cainids and felids have common ancestors, but that would indicated a species that existed before khajiit and lilmothiit that evolved into the 2 races, but there would be more evidence of this and the mer would have records of this race, as they live for a long time. But they doesn't seem to be any so I don't think they are related.

Granted originating from black marsh gave you better immunity to disease then most other races, but there were men living in black marsh at the time of the flu, and these men were completely different from the races of men you see today, and they were said to be completely destroyed. So it is probably safe to say that if the lilmothiit were around at the time they would have been destroyed.

The only evidence of a language overlap is a single suffix, it is more likely that Lilmothiit is actually a khajiit word then a overlap of language.

As they are nomadic, it is more reasonable to say that they left tamriel, the other option being that they became extinct
