The single consonant Hebrew root L represents elevation or loftiness, as in the words EL, UL, OL, (LEH, LUL, etc.
isaac, let's see your examples.... (UL,(OL, (LEH have a second consonant there, dont they? i do agree that (L has to do with loftiness. but not )L. LUL has to do with eggs, not loftiness. EL may be equally explained as mighty. so, not much to back the theory. on the other hand, the expressions YESH LE-EL YADY "it is in my power" and EYAL=power clearly do not point at loftiness. nor do ALIM=vioilent and ALELAY="gewallt", woe me. EL and its variants are documented in strong. and in other semitic dialects, and even in coptic. clearly, though, nothing you would like to acknowledge. and its inversion: LE)EH, means fatigue, lack of power. see also: http://strongsnumbers.com/hebrew/410.htm http://www.searchgodsword.org/lex/heb/view.cgi?number=0415 http://www.behindthename.com/name/eyal http://strongsnumbers.com/hebrew/353.htm strong 352 BOHAIRIC - ENGLISH DICTIONARY - [ Traduzir esta página ] Endurer of struugle. aylut/c = ayl/t/c - Strong person. aylwvoroc = aylovoroc - Endurer of struggle. ...... best nir cohen _______________________________________________ b-hebrew mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/b-hebrew
