This leads to the question of shaded related words. If you can't have an
angel of Love, can you have an angel of Passion? (Shades of SSO here) If
you can't have an angel of Fear, can you have one of Terror or Horror?
(Shades of LQOH here)
And by being a created language, can Hell define itself to have Words in
Helltongue *just* far enough away for a Word to be defined? And how does
that affect Angelic, would the Seraphim Council be forced to choose
between the purity of Angelic and losing the War?
Conversely, might Angelic in its pure form allow any concept to be
defined and might Helltongue lose things being a created language?
