the problem with isaac fried is that he attributes to hebrew words an
etymology which is immutable. thus, if he considers that AL/EL meant
"up", at some point of time, immediately is excludes the possibility
of AL/EL also to mean "power, strength", perhaps in a different
subculture or epoch, or even one word as a derivation of the other.
actually, there is a natural etymological association between both
pairs "power vs god" and "god vs up", hence by association "power vs up".
