Yes, and it has its cognates in Hebrew Eloah and Akkadian Ili (the latter is a word I remember from some children's version of Gilgamesh which had a few sentences of Akkadian in it). I still suggest {ala'uC} where C is some consonant. "Allah" sometimes occurs as "Allahu" where "-u" is the nominative ending; it also occurs as "Allahi" but Lojbanizing that would produce an invalid cmene. phma
