The Indo-European root “Bel” means “To swell”, “To grow bigger”, “To become angry”, among other things. “Bel” has given rise to words such as Ball, Bull, Ballot, Phallus, Belgian, Bolchevik, “Blague” (“Joke” in French), and many more.
Baal was the name of a storm and fertility god worshipped by many ancient Middle Eastern civilizations, particularly the Canaanites and Phoenicians. “Baal” can be translated as “Lord”, “Master”, “Owner”, or “Husband”. Baal was often associated with the bull, a symbol of creative force and power, whose bellowing resembles thunder.
In Greek mythology, Europa was a Phoenician princess who was abducted and raped by Zeus, who had transformed into a bull for the occasion.
Originally, in Proto-Sinaitic script, the letter Aleph depicted a bull’s head. Over time, as it “migrated westward”, this symbol rotated and evolved into the letter A in the Latin alphabet.
The bull’s horns symbolize man’s triumph over the animal. Symbolically, humans overcome and subdue their animalistic soul through language, transforming the bull into Aleph—a crown. The Toro becomes Torah.
The root “Erev” in Semitic languages means “Evening”, “West”, and carries the idea of “Movement” or “Passage”. The words “Europe” and “Arab” may share a common etymology.
In Hebrew, the root “Bela” means “To swallow” or “To engulf”.
