Re: Asherah

Thanks! Some people can be very stubborn about their ideas. :)
I think in the point I was trying to make whether or not Asher and Asherah ultimately have the same etymological origin is irrelevant. As "Andy" says in the post you linked to, almost no Jewish parents would give the name to a daughter even if they interpret it as a feminine of Asher because of its association with the pagan goddess.
