The Upaniṣads propose multiple Sanskrit etymologies, including: from Sanskrit आम् (ām, “yes”); from Sanskrit एवम् (evam, “that, thus, yes”); and from Sanskrit आप् (āp, “to attain”) or Sanskrit अव् (av, “to urge”).

The apostrophe (' or ) is a punctuation mark, and sometimes a diacritical mark, in languages that use the Latin alphabet and some other alphabets. In English, the apostrophe is used for some basic purposes:
The marking of the omission of one or more letters
The word "apostrophe" comes ultimately from Greek ἡ ἀπόστροφος [προσῳδία] (hē apóstrophos [prosōidía], '[the accent of] turning away or elision'), through Latin and French.

Aleph (or alef or alif, transliterated ʾ) is the first letter of the Semitic abjads, including Phoenician ʾālep 𐤀, Hebrew ʾālef א, Aramaic ʾālap 𐡀, Syriac ʾālap̄ ܐ, and Arabic alif ا. It also appears as South Arabian 𐩱, and Ge'ez ʾälef አ.

These letters are believed to have derived from an Egyptian hieroglyph depicting an ox's head to describe the initial sound of *ʾalp, the West Semitic word for ox. (compare Biblical Hebrew אֶלֶף‎ ʾelef, "ox")
The Phoenician variant gave rise to the Greek alpha (Α), being re-interpreted to express not the glottal consonant but the accompanying vowel, and hence the Latin A and Cyrillic А.

ג • (g, gh) Gimel: the third letter of the Hebrew alphabet, after ב and before ד & the numeral 3 in Hebrew numbering. the Gimel is this camel holding water in reserve inside it, a symbol of man as he carries within him his energies allowing him to cross his desert without having recourse to external energies. We are all a fantastic reserve of energies that are to be discovered, to be exploited, in order to be able to fully realize ourselves.

When the Lamed meets אַלף • (alef m or f) they form the word ʼĒl (also ʼIl, Ugaritic: 𐎛𐎍; Phoenician: 𐤀 Hebrew: אֵל; Syriac: ܐܠ; Arabic: إيل or إله; cognate to Akkadian: 𒀭, romanized: ilu) is a Northwest Semitic word meaning "god" or "deity", or referring (as a proper name) to any one of multiple major ancient Near Eastern deities. A rarer form, ʼila, represents the predicate form in Old Akkadian and in Amorite. The word is derived from the Proto-Semitic * ʔil- meaning "god". It is the most common and the most important of the divine names, the one which begins Elohim אֱלֹהִים / אֱלוֹהִים (ʾélôhím, “god (s), heavenly power ”), plural of אֱלוֹהַּ (ʾélôah,“ god ”), often taken to be an expanded form of אֵל (ʾēl,“ god ”) (whence El)., which we find as a suffix in names: Gabriel גַּבְרִיאֵל (gaḇrīʾḗl, “God is my strong man”),, divine strength, Raphael, רָפָאֵל (Rāfāʾēl) meaning "God cures" or "God has healed", the divine physician, Daniel, דָּנִיֵּאל (daniyél, literally “God is my judge”), divine justice, etc…, in all the first names of men who reflect divine energy. In a contrary sense, these two letters form the word LO לֹא which is the negation, not. What is their connection? This is because we can approach the Divine only by the path of negation, the Divine "is not", because it is much more, beyond all affirmation and all negation, beyond the Being and Non-Being, beyond all the opposing qualifications, beyond also the singular and the plural, since Elohim is the plural of El.
