interesting! so instead of just using the -el OR -ah (suffix meaning
'of god,' -el being the male and -ah the female, vis 'ezekiel' or
'devorah'), it's common to use both? (I know this is completely
off-topical, but i'd wondered about 'ari' -- would the female by
'ariah' -- sounds too much like 'aria,' as in an operatic solo maybe?)
lots of little girls named 'ariel' after 'the little mermaid' -- LOL --
i got a chuckle thinking it was actually a MALE Hebrew name and a
FEMALE 'American' name!
kinda like 'lion AND lioness of god' -- or even 'lion of god/goddess,'
like ye olde 'elohim' conundrum. sorry to stray, i'm very interested in
names and in languages other than english. :->
