This is all well and good but a complete understanding would mean knowing what is referred to by the word God. What is the meaning of a name for God? Why not just say God? Does God have meaning? I dont think there is enough information here to allow one to decide whether these are meaningless sounds or not. A fart could probably be seen(heard) as a meaningless sound but such an expression could easily be imbued with meaning depending on whether or not there were intention involved. This is a tough one.
