The word has five letters, it begins with A and ends with A.

The answer can be found here: https://ldsfreedomforum.com/viewtopic.p ... 72#p969972 and is another name for the Spirit.

BD - Soul Should find it, but not anymore.

How can such an essential word not be found in the dictionary.

A + B = a living soul. B is Body; what word begins with A ???

Hint, it also ends with A and only has 5 letters from a 12 letter alphabet.

Many don't realize how well the deeper meaning of A---A fits.

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

I got it right! But then again I did spend two years in Hawaii! I used to have an English-Hawaiian dictionary. I wish that I still had it because then I could look up Alo and Ha to find out the true meaning. I know it is used for hello and goodbye but that could be an oversimplification for English speaking people.
aloha
nvt., nvs. Aloha, love, affection, compassion, mercy, sympathy, pity, kindness, sentiment, grace, charity; greeting, salutation, regards; sweetheart, lover, loved one; beloved, loving, kind, compassionate, charitable, lovable; to love, be fond of; to show kindness, mercy, pity, charity, affection; to venerate; to remember with affection; to greet, hail. Greetings! Hello! Good-by! Farewell! Alas! The common greetings follow: Aloha ʻoe, may you be loved or greeted, greetings (to one person). Aloha kāua, may there be friendship or love between us, greetings (to one person); dear Sir. Aloha kākou, same as above, but to more than one person. Ke aloha nō! Aloha! Greetings! (The nō may be prolonged for emphasis.) (Gram. 4.6) The following greetings were introduced after European times; Aloha ahiahi, good evening. Aloha kakahiaka, good morning. Cf. aloha ʻāina, hanaaloha. Aloha aliʻi, royalist, royal love. Aloha ʻino! What a pity! Alas! [Expression of regret, either great or small.] Aloha akua, love of god; divine love, pity, charity. Mea aloha, loved one, beloved. Aloha makua, considerate and thoughtful of parents and elders, filial. Aloha ʻia, beloved, pitied. Aloha pumehana, warm aloha, affection. Me ke aloha o Ka-wena, with the love (or greeting) of Ka-wena. ʻO wau iho nō me ke aloha, I remain, with very best regards. Aloha ʻoe, ē Maria, ua piha ʻoe i ka maikaʻi, hail, Mary, full of grace. Ē Maria hemolele, e aloha mai ʻoe iā mākou, Holy Mary, have mercy on us. Aloha aʻe ana mākou i ke ehu wāwae o ka lani (chant for Ka-lā-kaua), we remember fondly the footprints of the king. E aloha aku au i ka mea aʻu e manaʻo ai e aloha aku (Puk. 33.19), I show mercy tothose I want to show mercy to. Aloha nō ia mau lā o nā makahiki he kanalima i kūnewa akula! Affectionate [memories] of these days of fifty years past! hō.aloha Rare var. of hoʻālohaloha. Cf. hoaloha. (PPN ʻalofa.)

ʻalo
1. vt. To dodge, evade, elude, avoid. ʻAlo ʻana, dodging, avoidance, oversight, omission. ʻAʻole e hiki ke alo aʻe, it canʻt be helped. hō.ʻalo To shun, dodge, avoid, escape, omit, skip; omission; to alternate or place irregularly, as strips of thatch (For. 5:651). (PPN kalo.)

2. vt. To be with, come near, go with, attend, escort, accompany, share an experience, endure, resist. Kuʻu hoa ʻalo i ke anu, my companion who shared the cold. Kū ana ʻo Mauna Loa, kuahiwi ʻalo ehuehu (song), stands Mauna Loa, mountain that resists storms. E ʻalo aʻe ʻoe iā mākou ā hiki aku i Molokaʻi (FS 267), escort us to Molokaʻi.

haʻa (same as ha)
1. nvs. Low; dwarf; man or animal of short stature. hoʻo.haʻa To lower; humble. See the more common hoʻohaʻahaʻa. (PNP saka.)

2. n. A dance with bent knees; dancing (1 Sam. 18.6); called hula after mid 1800s. (PPN saka.)

3. n. A short variety of banana.

So the deeper meaning of aloha is to approach or leave with humility. So one native Hawaiian approaching another native Hawaiian would signal friendly intent by saying aloha and the second would signal acceptance by repeating it back. Then it just became a standard greeting and came to mean a whole bunch of things.

So please tell me if the deeper meaning of aloha that you are referring too is anywhere in the above definitions.
