the professor that was cited for the greek , i think it was reverend Terence Espinoza , is he right about the way the epsilon is pronounced? Because I have come across a well established linguist in the Arabic field, marijn van putten, who said that the Arabic video that op cites (from arabic 101) is not reputable . He also mentioned that the word Allah is attested in greek transcription as alpha lambda lambda alpha . He didn't even mention the chi at the end, what do you think about this?

"Despite how similar "Al-ilah" looks (and likely sounded) to "Allah", the theory that the former is just a shortened version of the latter is quite controversial (as a lot of the other answers go into). Fortunately, that wasn't the question." As far as I know this is the majority opinion among scholars of the Arabic language , why do u think it's controversial ? @T.E.D.
@Obie2.0 there's no unbiased an well sourced arguments there , they try to confirm true etymology to their views , so the best thing would be to ask Muslim or Jewish scholars about it
