1012) la (אל AL) AC: Yoke CO: Ox AB: Strength: The pictograph a is a picture of an ox head and also represents its strength. The l is a picture of a shepherd staff and also represents the authority of the shepherd. Combined these two pictographs mean "the strong authority" and can be anyone or thing of strong authority. The yoke is understood as a "staff on the shoulders" (see Isaiah 9:4) in order to harness their power for pulling loads such as a wagon or plow. Hence, the two pictographs can also represent "the ox in the yoke". Often two oxen were yoked together. An older, more experienced ox would be teamed up (yoked) with a younger, less experienced ox. The older ox in the yoke is the "strong authority" who, through the yoke, teaches the younger ox. (eng: all; elk; elephant)

אַיָּל m., a stag, hart, Deuteronomy 12:15, 14:5 Isaiah 35:6 pl. ־ִים Song of Solomon 2:9, 17. Always of the masc. gen., but in Psalms 42:2 joined with a f. in the manner of common nouns, it denotes a hind, which is elsewhere called by its own peculiar form אַיָּלָה, אַיֶּלֶת. Ch. and Syr. id.; Arab. إِيَّلُ wild goat, mountain goat, chamois; Eth. ኀየል፡, an orthography which confirms the relation of the roots אוּל and חוּל. As to the etymology, אַיָּל is as it were intensive of the word אַוִל, prop. therefore it denotes a great ram, אַיָּלָה a large she-goat. The Hebrews appear to have called several species of deer and gazelles, some of which have horns twisted like those of a ram, great rams, or wild rams, as in German they are called Bergziegen, wilde Ziegen, and in Latin they are called capreœ, from their likeness to a goat, capra. LXX. always ἔλαφος.
