The endings AN, ON, UN, are, in my humble opinion, ( לעניות דעתי ) personal pronouns, as in ANIY ( אני, אנו ), referring to the thing described. To wit: XAL-ON, 'a thing that is XALUL, or KALUL in a wall', AD-ON, 'he who is AD, or AZ', AT-ON, 'she who is AT or AD or AZ' like the goddess Athena. In spoken Hebrew we have PARDES- AN, 'he who tends orchards'.

How do you explain: Xalul + aniY => Xal-on ?
