إِلَٰهَ god

A common noun, 'god', here in the special bare shape that the absolute negator forces on what it denies, with no 'the' and a fixed ending. It is the category being wiped out, 'no god whatsoever', before the exception arrives. Its form is the grammatical fingerprint of that total negation.

إِلَٰهَ deity
