human(e)
once upon a time,
it was a
sufficient condition to be
human.
no longer.
now,
it is a
necessary condition to be
human(e).

Vow-El
(e)
what would we be without Vow-El,
the God of all promises?
tongue tied consonant babblers incapable of uttering words of
prayerful tenderness,
without the essential precision tool modifiers of our pleasured
interactive mutuality,
unable to chant the sounds, the noisy paths of promise,
of allegiance and alliance,
that elevate the inconstant human to be empowered god-like,
to human(e)**

In northwest Semitic use, El was both a generic word for any god and the special name or title of a particular god who was distinguished from other gods as being "the god". ... In Ugaritic the plural form meaning "gods" is ʾilhm, equivalent to Hebrew ʾelōhîm "powers". Wikipedia El (deity)
