PIE Root

English 'God' may derive from PIE *ghut- (invoked one); Sanskrit deva (shining one) and Latin deus share *dyew- (sky, shine). The names humanity gives its highest power cluster around light, power, and invocation across all Indo-European languages.

Hebrew kabod (glory, weight) is the visible manifestation of God's presence — God's glory is God made present and perceptible, making 'glory of God' nearly synonymous with divine encounter.
