"El Shaddai" might be what I was thinking of; as I said I don't know any Hebrew.

I would suspect that originally the "gods" created the world, but after the Jews became monotheists "gods" became the Majestic Plural to reconcile present practice with past records.

And the royal (& editorial) "we" must have been made up at some time. Language is a creation of humankind.

But I'm not presenting any of this as scholarship. Just pokinig fun at a nonsensical premise of G. Silver's and some nonsensical assertions by Martin.
