So, this is a suffix, right? --Connel MacKenzie T C 16:47, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. I don't know why, but there were several Esperanto suffixes listed as "endings", so I continued the theme, but it would be best to change all of them to "Suffix". Rod (A. Smith) 18:04, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WHAT about "EL" referring to God in the hebrew language?[edit]

I cant believe there is not one subsection on this definition page mentioning this see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_God_in_Judaism#El

This page is for -el, which is a suffix. What you're looking for is El (note the lack of a hyphen, and the capital letter). We also have an entry for the original Hebrew word (in the Hebrew script). Chuck Entz (talk) 04:34, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't this missing a section on -el in Standard/High German?[edit]

If I'm not totally mistaken the -el appendix is present in contemporary German (so Standard German) as well.

It works similar to the first etymology in English (they both seem to trace back to a Germanic ancestor so that's not surprising).

Other authors seem to indirectly agree as the German article on -el (https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/-el) links to the English one here and vice versa. The relevant section in the German article is 'Substantivableitung'.
