You said it just right: "that simply means "window"". There is no
such thing in Hebrew "that simply mean window". What stands in your
way of accepting what I am saying, I think, is your insistence of
thinking in terms of European languages, which are left with only
stand-alone words after having lost their root system and their
corresponding originally natural grammars. Hebrew does not have words
per se; Hebrew has only roots which it builds up into words by
certain systematic additions. The question is: what are these additions.
The word XALON comes from the root XL or XLL, 'include'. The internal
A sound is, methinks, just a breathing separator between the
consonants, but what is this -ON addition tucked up at the end of XAL
to make XALON, does it mean anything? What do you think?
