Folks,
    (I don't remember if I already responded to this thread, but
what the heck, why should that stop me from being obnoxious.)
I think Mark Shoulson really hit the nail on the head.  All
the names of God are names!  Gismu are predicates that express
relations.  I only have need in this language for gismu that
describe the properties of these "super" beings.  As of now I
only have a clear understanding of one descriptor and am aware that
at least one more is need for descriptions that I do not well
understand.  The one I understand is for an omnipotent, omniscient,
omnipresent, creator of the entirety of what I can sense directly
or indirectly who may or may not have a personality as we understand
it.  Clearly there needs to be words to describe the role of other
"guiding influences".  But clearly JHVH is a name, not a descriptor,
not a predicate.
    I might accept xriso as the word for messiah as long as it is
clear that that the definition does not refer to any one instance.
I expect that we are free to read "le xriso" as a reference to
Emperor Hili Salasi (I'm not sure of the spelling) or someone
for whom we have waited for centuries and for we will continue
to wait.

    thank you all,
