Yup. "Lāh" means "God". "Allāh" is "the God", the obvious implication being that he's the only one.

@Infrapink@mastodon.ie @toddheberlein@mastodon.social @mekkaokereke@hachyderm.io There's evidence for this in the Bible, no less: the famous piece of transliterated Aramaic in the Passion of the Christ is: "Alahi, lama sabachthani?" The grammar of "Alahi" (my God) would be familiar to an Arabic speaker today.
