Malik, the angel who has charge over Hell – Jeffery1938
▪ eC7 Q xliii, 77 – Jeffery1938.
▪ Jeffery1938: »The native authorities derived the name from malaka ‘to possess’, ‘rule over’. This root may have influenced the form, but the source is doubtless the Biblical Moloch. The Hbr form is mōläḵ, and it may possibly have come direct from Hbr1
but the Syr mâlak (PSm, 1989) is much more likely.«
