Biblical Hebrew Forum

[Isaac Fried <if AT math.bu.edu>]

Said to be the worshiper of Aten or Aton, which seems to me to be but the 

Hebrew אדון ADON, and which the Greeks feminized into Pallas-Athena, 

namely בעלת אדינה BAALAT-ADINAH. 

It appears to me that ADON is made up of עד AD and ON, where 

AD, or עז AZ, may refer to any "strong" thing, and where ON is הנו HIYNO.
