Notes

  1. ^ In Semitic languages, the "al" and "el" sounds are often merged, (as in "ael") thus the Aramaic "Eli" is directly related to the Arabic Allah and identical to Hebrew "El". It is related also to similar Semitic words in Assyrian (ilu), Phoenician, Aramaic, Arabic and Ethiopic.
  2. ^ In Hebrew and many Yiddish Languages, Eli means "the highest" or "to the Highest".
