 Perhaps the most well known of these is [[alehim]] (aka Elohim) - a group of intelligent entities prevalent in the Hebrew texts from the very first verse, and never straying far from the narrative. However, it is not entirely clear if the alehim are human, superhuman, or something else entirely There are a number of other beings in this category, many of whom are entirely overlooked, and some of whom are quite misconstrued in traditional interpretations. These include the [[kerobim]] and [[serepim]], and many more.
 Interestingly, most of these words are simple etymological compounds. That is, they use a root word with a meaning that is well established and clear, then they add the //im// suffix, to create a plural personification based on the known attribute.
+  *In some cases, the root word is an adjective. These belay a very straightforward pattern, for example [[hemed]] "Desirable" + im -> [[hemedim]] "the Desirable Ones".
+  *In other cases, the root word is a verb, so when combined with //im//, the verb appears to take on an adjectival gerundive form. An example of this is [[aor]] "light" + //im// -> [[aorim]]/[[arim]] "the Shining Ones".
+  *Some are built on a noun root. An easy example is [[her]] "mountain" + //im// -> [[herim]] "the Mountain People". This example implies a group of people who live in the mountains. Some noun examples are somewhat less straightforward in their implications.
