I do not know any Hebrew, and I often do not read these threads, but I am happy I did read this one.

I remember from a long time back that I had read that Baalzebub was created by tauntingly changing zebul (Lord, the prince) to zebub (Lord of flies). So, I had guessed, zayin-bet-lamed must be the same word; and hence from Yarod/Jared's (hey why not simply ירד's ... Hmmm...which side do I put the 's?) post concluded that aleph-yod must be `where'.

Thanks for the interesting history.
