My love of LINGUISTIC ANTHROPOLOGY led me to my Sufi Teacher Hazrat Inayat Khan

In the Semitic language of Aramaic which Jesus most likely spoke, the Aramaic word which is translated as God in the European bible was actually Alaha. According to some linguists, the word Alaha which Jesus spoke would have had the ending "a" softened or not pronounced at all, leading to the pronunciation "alah". Since the Arabic language was largely derived from the earlier Aramaic (much the same as Aramaic was derived from the earlier Hebrew), the modern Arabic word Allah is likely derived from the earlier Aramaic pronunciation "alah". Indeed, Allah of the Qur'an and Alaha of Jesus refer to the same One. In contrast, the word "God" is a relatively new, and perhaps unfortunate, European invention which has been the source of much misunderstanding and conflict. - Hazrat Inayat Khan

HUMANS AS INVENTORS

inventor

c.1500, “a discoverer,” from L. inventor (fem. inventrix) "contriver, author, discoverer," agent noun from pp. stem of invenire (see invention). Meaning “one who contrives or produces a new thing or process” is from 1550s.

Hazrat died in 1927 and his statement concerning the European invention of the word GOD as a source of much misunderstanding and conflict carries truth today. You need only walk into the Reference Section of your local library with its shelves of specialized English dictionaries (ranging from auto mechanics to zoology) to grasp the idea of the humans innate ability to be INVENTORS of words that carry meaning.
