In the instance of "abyzou" (from the assumed Sumerian root, the feminine 'goddess name' of saltwater 'sea'), the 'alike sounding' transliteration rule breaks down when translated into: Babylonian "tiamat" (again the feminine 'goddess name' of saltwater 'sea') or 'tamtu' ('great sea') in Akkadian or Hebrew "tehom" (the great deep) despite the fact that these societies were essentially conjugate.

The ruach (I always mis-spell it Rauch) involved is a wind we must admit. A storm wind of epic proportion. Compare the opening words of Genesis to E=mc^2 for fun, heavy and light waters, massive explosions of divine light and power.... I somehow prefer modern science as to accuracy, but if I was to hide away the dangers of nuclear physics, I'd prefer the Bereshyt. The consequences are indeed of astronomical and divine proportions. See?

that's not what verse 2 says though (and its verse 2 that talks about the ruach of creation floating over the deep (abyss).
it says the earth BECAME void and desolate, not that the earth WAS void and desolate (void and desolate=tohu and bohu).

I said the first words of Genesis 1, that would cover at least the first four days mind you. The seven days is a chain reaction. It's actually quite simple. Boom.
while you get smashed in the face from coincidences or synchronisity, or whatever, remain blind ,- I guess this message goes for undo anyways more than the messenger:

the ruach as the vehicle of god(s) would be the equivalent of enki's e.abzu temple

Genesis 1 refers to first chapter of Genesis, not first verse, that would be Genesis 1:1, as in Chapter/Verse, see? Now read Genesis 1 with basic paradigms in discovering and harnessing nuclear energy in mind and though unrelated, how his week commence in terraforming, before it ends in nuclear biology and cloning. Sounds familiar? It's the renaissance process.
