Dhimmi-please provide a source for your claims

"And how many times do I have to tell you that the Christians in the Middle East call their God in Syriac Alaha/Allaha which is Arabized as Allah."

once again, dhimmi- what is your source for this connection?

Aliha is not the plural form of Ilaha- the plural form is ilahat.

Wehr page 24.

and yes, Allhuma is not a plural form, but an invocative; so yes, I was wrong. Again, Wehr pg 24.

Once again, you really don't need to be so uncivil in your tone towards me. I'm not a Pakistani tablighi or whatever else you want to call me. I'm merely a student of languages, and certainly do not have an axe to grind, as you appear to have.
