Proto-Semitic *‛ALA --- *ALAL- Greek
The root of this Hebrew word sounds like, but cannot be seen as the same as that of "high" .
Note:
- Greek. This word has doubled the syllable with "L" to strengthen the expressiveness. There is an epytheton for Ares, the God of War, that goes αλαλαξιος, alalaxios, defining Ares, who in English is called Mars, which is his Latin name, as the "God of the Warcry".
Note:
- Proto-Semitic. There are no indications available about a possible Proto-Semitic root.
Note:
- Indo-European. There are no known links with other Indo-European groups. We have to limit ourselves to the similarity between Greek and Hebrew.
