1] treasure
2] riches
derivation:
of Aramaic origin (confidence, i.e. wealth, personified)
http://bible.crosswalk.com/Lexicons/Greek/grk.cgi?number=3126&version=kjv
Additional information:
Further derivation: possibly from Akkadian mimma, nominalized mimmu,
meaning "something" and
"property".

Alternate derivation:
Recent evidence (see additional information in the entry for
Noe for details) indicates
that the origin of all
languages (with the possible exception of "isolates") was in Turkey.
The cognate
of "Mammon" in languages other than Aramaic or Akkadian must therefore
also be taken into
consideration. One such cognate is the name "Mannan" which name is
found in
Gaelic and is a variation of the name "Manannan", according to

"Manannan" is the god of the dead, according to
http://www.godchecker.com/pantheon/celtic-mythology.php?deity=MANANNAN-MACLIR
Comment:
To the extent that this additional information and additional derivation is correct, Mammon is therefore the god of the dead
who was
alluded to in paragraph 090.
