When Frigga and Odin mentioned Salomon, they did not pronounce it as "Solomon," but as the name of an extremely ancient deity from the civilizations of Canaan and the Levant—the supreme god of the pantheon, El, or simply Elohim. In Northwest Semitic languages, El could refer broadly to any god or specifically to the highest god. Many words in the Hebrew Bible shared roots with this pronunciation, such as Israel and Ishmael. It was not until after Exodus that this pronunciation was replaced by Yah, the pronunciation of Yahweh. Furthermore, Elohim was the plural form of Eloha, referring to the concept of god and sometimes to visitors from beyond the heavens.
No matter how the Sorcerer Supreme concealed her disciple's origins, Odin, who had lived through that most ancient era of wars among the gods, could be certain of Salomon's connection to El. Combined with the strange phenomenon Frigga discovered when observing Salomon's thread of fate—the closer it drew to the future, the more ancient the scenes it revealed—Odin and Frigga had formed their own conjecture more than a decade ago. They connected Salomon to El, the supreme god of the pantheon, and uncovered some unspeakable truths while investigating the secret of Salomon's true name. Yet even spellcasters as wise and powerful as Odin and Frigga could not understand what Elohim, a word that only under certain meanings referred to visitors from beyond the heavens, truly meant.
Only after the Sorcerer Supreme personally issued a warning and placed the most powerful spell over her disciple's true name did the Asgardians' hostile investigation into Salomon come to a forced end. Even now, in private, Odin and Frigga would call a small portion of his true name Elohim in order to evade the spell while directing its meaning toward Salomon.
