ALHA meaning
#2
Shlama Akhi Gentile,

All Semitic languages descend from Akkadian, the earliest Semitic language used in ancient Babylonia and Assyria. It is now a dead language.

The three Semitic languages all use the same word for "god" - it is derived from the Akkadian "Illu":

- aramaic = alaha
- hebrew = elohim
- arabic = ilahu

For instance, the name of the city of "Babel" is rooted in the Akkadian word, bab-ilu, or "Bab-El," meaning, "gate of God."

The following is an excellent website about Akkadian:
