Cute.

But doesn't that risk running afoul of the idea of the Xtians or,
lehavdil, the Lubavitchers?  "Ish Hashem Hayah".  Even those who are
called Godly have an adjectival appellation, e.g Eloki Rabbi Yitzchak
(Luria), or Moshe Ish Ha'Elokim - the man of God, rather than "a man
was God" hv hv hv

By the way, that's usually spelled "Polonnoye" in English.
