Isn't that the Hebrew fem. plural? (the bases look Hebrew-ish, though I
doubt they are.) In "The Dunwich Horror" IIRC he actually employs the term
"Sab(b?)aoth".
I used to quite enjoy HPL, until I read a (posthumous?) tale that dealt with
some guy who hangs around with ghouls et al...But the line "...a ghoul is a
ghoul, for all that, and no fit company for a man" elicited just a great big
laugh, and I haven't been able to read him with a straight face since.
Still, you and others are doing an nice job trying to parse the
"language"...
