Ripheus23 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 ... but it appears that the word "Aharietiam" is derived as [from]: Quote Although the prophecy refers to Gog as an enemy in some future, it is not clear if the confrontation is meant to occur in a final "end of days" since the Hebrew term aḥarit ha-yamim (Hebrew: אחרית הימים) may merely mean "latter days", and is open to interpretation.

Elegy he/him Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 It's not really a well-known fact I think, so it's probably for the better you pointed it out! He did confirm it: Quote Questioner Do you use Hebrew words? Brandon Sanderson The name Adonalsium is derived from a Hebrew name for God, Adonai and Aharietiam was derived from the Hebrew/Jewish term for the end of days acharit hayamim or אחרית הימים Miscellaneous 2016 (June 1, 2016) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weltall Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 I didn't know that either, hadn't seen that WoB and this is the sort of thing I geek out over. Kudos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+King of Herdaz he/him Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) I believe it's been confirmed that the unmade are all named for ancient middle eastern gods. I've figured out 7: Ashertmarn= Asherah Ba-Ado-Mishram= ? Chemoarish= Chemosh Dai-Gonarthis= Dagon Moelach= Moloch Nergaoul= Nergal Re-Shephir= Resheph Sja-Anat= Anat Yelig-Nar= ? And some of these, notably Asherah and Moloch, appear in the Torah. Edited June 27, 2019 by King of Herdaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, why did I only just notice that the more intelligent an Unmade is, the more hyphens they get? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hadn't thought of that. I looked it up and the feminine form of the title is Ba'alah. That seems very similar to me, but there could be something else.

Necessary Eagle she/her Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 Chemosh is mentioned, too, in... *pulls out her copy of Bamidbar* Numbers 21:29. Well, it says 'Kemosh', but I think it's the same thing. IIRC Chemosh comes up in the Prophets, too, but I have to go now. Maybe I'll look it up later. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
