Also, {la'oi Goa'uld cevni xu} by your definition (ignore = if you haven't seen Stargate SG-1)?

Yes and no. Not gods to me (just aliens), but gods to their human servants.=

Then I believe that the jbovlaste definition of {cevni} is= misleading:
Definition: x1 is a/the god/deity of people(s)/relig= ion x2 with dominion over x3 [sphere]; x1 is divine.
note the secondary definition. = I would consider angels to be divine.
= Well, then you're using a different sense of the word "divine"= ; than jbovlaste is, because the sense of "divine" in the English= definition of {cevni} is "(of or pertaining to a god): deific, godlik= e, godly", whereas you seem to be meaning "(eternal, holy): hallo= wed, holy, sacred".

<= /div>{cevni} can refer to many different things, but not angels. Gods, godd= esses, demi-god(esse)s, oni, and so on and so forth.

But not angels.= Angels are not gods, they aren't even god-like. Except for maybe the a= rchangels, they're barely above humans, and in many ways are lower on t= he totem pole (like the complete lack of free will, emotion, or creativity,= for example).
