|As per "Lightbringers", ''lucifer'', though associated with the planet [[Venus]], with a Latin deity personifying the morning star as distinct from Venus, and with [[the Devil]], literally means "light-bearer" or "light-bringer". The prefix [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ur- "ur-"] means "primitive, original, earliest, archetypal" in the real world; the syllable is notably used within [[Urizen]]'s name. "Arch’" may be read as doubling this sense via evoking "archaic", or as being in line with the Archon/Chronarch terminology and bringing in the "lordship" element. | |||

|rowspan= | |rowspan=19|"Gods", sometimes uncapitalised, is a general real-world term for deities. Instances vary, and sometimes flip-flop, between "gods" being a descriptor for the kind of beings the [[Time Lord]]s are, but not exclusive to them, and cases where "the gods" (or "the Gods") is used to mean "the Time Lords" exclusively; the question is typically contextual, depending upon the culture of the speaker. | ||
