that is very interesting what Joshua Fox studies revealed, I was thinking
maybe the yod there was a vowel. Not trying to contridict what Fox's
studies show but just pointing out something I found interesting in
H.A.L.O.T (hebrew and aramaic lexicon of the old testament) p 40, has listed
'ayil and right next to it 'awl which I believe is suggesting the yod is a
vowel. And then goes on to list a ugaritic form il, and an akkadian form
(y)alu AHw. It also list Eg. which I believe is Egyptian has lw.yyr =irr =
'el. (I don't know either language but it seems relevant to etomology.)
