[QUOTE="Yair, post: 1519469, member: 10913"] I am only really familiar with modern Hebrew, but I believe the language hasn't changed much. Apparently I am too late. I would like to note that in modern language Adon means Lord, and Adonai is My Lord, and that Baal was a reference for a Semitic deity (so there was Baal X where X is the name of a place/city/society). Jehova is a (corruotion of) the name God said Moses to call him, which is generally believed to signify the fact that he is atemporal, as the name defies time-categorization (being a mixture of past-present-future all at once). El, currently, just means "god" (no capitalization - any god will do...). The bad guys are fallen angels, and have names with meanings such as "might of god" and so on - hence all end in "el", just like the "un-fallen" angels. E.g., an angel in charge of bringing trouble might be called "tzarotel" (the troubles of/fromg god; there probably isn't one) - all things come from god, the bad ones too. The "non-el" names are often not of Hebrew origin. Well, mostly (Lilith, which isn't an angel but rather a mortal... the original wife of Adam, actually. And Satan, which just means "adversary". Etc.) I would have suggested... Zevahel - sacrifice to/of god Sh(e)madel - destruction of god Zaamel - anger of god Haronel (or Charonel) - wrath of god (stronger wrath than zaam) Elshadai - God of Wars, used in the bible to signify god in his wrathful aspect [/QUOTE]
