HelpRe: Claude or Elisha?
in reply to a message by Gaia
Pretty sure Elisha and Elijah are relatives in the Bible. Maybe father and son, though I’m not an expert. I pronounce it ee-LIE-shuh.

Elisha was the successor of Elijah and he took him to heaven. So not exactly father but you can say that. And that is how you pronounce Elisha.

You said Elijah and Elisha are basically the same. Clearly not.

When I said “they are basically the same” I meant in pronunciation. If I said ee-LIE-zha out loud for all you know that could be spelt Elijah or Elisha. They are clearly not etymologically related but the sound is not that distinct. There’s just a slight difference in the sha and jah sound. To-MAE-to, To-MAH-to.
