Dear Eric,
MELEK takes definition from the construct phrase: the king of the
world, or the king of the age, or the king of eternity. The definite
article in the second word makes the first word definite. I have always
heard that an exact equivalent for (WOLAM does not exist in English.

Yours,
Harold Holmyard
