#9, Where do angels fit in the chart?

Paul, Andrew, Don, Stephen, and anybody else with answers;

I don't know how to reproduce your chart yet because I'm still a computer illiterate. I wish I could reproduce it though because I'd like to know where you would place angels in it. Do they have a different "kyana" than humans and God? How about their "qnoma"? What about their "parsopa" since they can, at times, take on human form?
I'm really not ready with all my questions yet, but I wanted to get a few in before the Tuesday deadline. Can we resume this same thread after the two weeks are up?
Do all species have a "qnoma" or just God, angels, and humans? According to Aramaic understanding when we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit is it His "qnoma" that takes up residence within us? Where would spirit (ruach) fit in in this chart (not Spirit just spirit as in our spirit)? How about "nefesh"?
Paul, I may be in the minority here but, I think that chart is a stroke of genuis and has helped me tremendously in my attempt to understand this "qnoma" thing. If you could take the time to add the "ruach" and "nefesh" into the chart in their appropriate places before Tuesday so I can print it off I'd appreciate it. I want something to ruminate on for the next couple of weeks.
By the way I have a meeting Chicago on May 9-10 this year. I'd like to call you if I get a chance while I'm up there. We still pray for your mother, hope she is improving.
In Christ's Love,
Keith
