Angels-SUFFIX ANGELS (NOMINAL ANGELS)


Suffix angels are angels created by ancient writers by simply adding
one of two Hebrew endings

, -el or -irion, to ordinary words. The root
words for these nominal angels were often adopted from Hebrew. For
instance, the author of the Book of Enoch took the word for hail—
barad in Hebrew, added -el, and produced Baradel, the Angel of Hailstones.
By the time of Pope Zachary, this tendency had so blossomed
that there were angels for almost everything. As a consequence, a
church council convened in the year 745 declared that only the three
angels mentioned by name in the Bible—Raphael, Gabriel, and
Michael—could be called upon by the faithful.
