I doubt it. The word Allah appears to be a conglomeration of "al elah",
meaning "the god".

A well educated friend told me that the Aramaic word
for "God" is "Allah". It would be nice to know if
he was wrong about that.

Aren't Yahweh, Jehovah, and Allah all the same God-head?

Yup, me too. I listen to "A Way With Words," a radio program on KPBS
(available streaming at kpbs.org) whose host is language writer Richard
Lederer ("Anguished English," "Get Thee To A Punnery," etc). Richard said
that "it's" for "its" (possessive) was considered correct until near the end
of the 19th century. I didn't know that.

That's as bad as using entitled. Michigan Tech voted that as one of
the 10 words that should be eliminated in one of their yearly
selections.
