Lailah
The angel Lailah or Laylah (Hebrew "night") is an angel of the night in some interpretations in the Talmud and in some later Jewish mythology.
==Etymology==
The name Lailah is the same as the Hebrew word for "night" ''laylah'' לילה. The identification of the word "night" as the name of an angel originates with the interpretation of "Rabbi Yochanan" (possibly Yochanan ben Zakkai c. 30 - 90 AD) who read "At night () and his servants deployed against them and defeated them” (JPS Genesis 14.14) as "by (angel called ) night" (Sanhedrin 96a).
The noun for "night" in the Semitic languages is derived from the tri-consonantal root: L-Y-L, also found in Arabic ''laylah'' "night" ((アラビア語:ليلى)). The root is also shared with the Hebrew noun ''liliyt'', "night creature", one origin of the Lilith myth.〔ISBE www.biblestudytools.com (entry "Day And Night" )〕
The ending ''lah'' is a feminine. Lailah is the only angel with a feminine name and distinctly feminine characteristics.〔(http://www.umsl.edu/~schwartzh/samplemyths_3.htm Angel of Conception )〕
