B-Hebrew: The Biblical Hebrew Forum

In my readings I have recently encountered the name of the pre-islamic goddess אלאת ALAT of Arabia, a name which appears to be composed of the Hebrew uniliteral root ל L, 'up', as in אֵל EL, augmented by the personal pronoun את AT, 'you'.

The name is possibly one and the same as the Greek Leto, mother of Apollo (בעל BAAL?)

In the HB we encounter the name ענת ANAT, as in בית ענת of Jos. 19:38, a name possibly consisting of but the two personal pronouns אן-את AN-AT, similarly the ultimate name היאהוא (read: HIYAHUWA).
