women's prayers and vows are often expressed more in "body language" than verbally. For example, in synagogue (when women go at all, only men are required to do so) the men will be studying the Torah, heads bowed. But when the Torah scroll is held up ceremoniously, the women will kiss it, raise their eyes heavenward, and make a silent wish.

One victim of the purging of the language is the goddess Anat. She appears often in the Ugaritic texts as the consort of Ba'al, this pair being
the younger West Semitic rival deities of El and Asherah, now somewhat in their dotage. But the character and roles of Anat are difficult to rationalize. Her regular title is "Maiden Anat"; yet she is portrayed as Ba'al's lover, copulating with him endlessly.
