Dear all,
'el "god" (and the theophoric element -'el as in Shamu'el, Yisra'el...) is
cognate with 'il- in other Semitic languages.
When did 'il become 'el in the history of Hebrew?
What evidence is there, for example in Akkadian transliterations, that Hebrew
'el was once pronounced 'il- just as in other Semitic languages?
What evidence is there that 'el always had 'e' in Hebrew (names, etc.) though
other Semitic languages had 'il-, ill-...?
Any evidence anyone can offer would be appreciated.
Garth Grenache,
Australia.
