===Elah===
{{transliteration|he|Elah}} ({{langx|he|אֱלָה|ʾelāh}}, pl. {{transliteration|he|Elim}} or {{transliteration|he|Elohim}}; {{langx|arc|אלהא}}) is the [[Aramaic]] word for God and the absolute singular form of {{lang|arc|אלהא}}, {{transliteration|arc|ʾilāhā}}. The origin of the word is from [[Proto-Semitic language|Proto-Semitic]] {{lang|sem-x-proto|ʔil}} and is thus cognate to the [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]], [[Arabic]], [[Akkadian language|Akkadian]], and other [[Semitic languages]]' words for god. {{transliteration|he|Elah}} is found in the [[Tanakh]] in the books of [[Book of Ezra|Ezra]], [[Book of Jeremiah|Jeremiah]] (Jeremiah 10:11,<ref>{{bibleverse|Jeremiah|10:11|HE}}</ref> the only verse in the entire book written in Aramaic),<ref>Torrey 1945, 64; Metzger 1957, 96; Moore 1992, 704,</ref> and [[Book of Daniel|Daniel]]. {{transliteration|he|Elah}} is used to describe both pagan gods and the Abrahamic God.
