Etymology

[edit]

Corresponding to Arabic *اَلْإِلَات (*alʔilāt), possibly an earlier or alternative variant of Arabic اَللَّات (al-lāt, Allat), itself hypothesized to be a contraction of a feminine form of الإِلٰه (al-ʔilāh, the god) (now obsoleted by the suffixed form الإِلٰهَة (al-ʔilāha, the goddess)). Compare with the name of the Islamic god, اَلله (allāh, Allah), itself theorized to be a contraction of الإِلٰه (al-ʔilāh). More at إِلٰه (ʔilāh).
