The Names of Lilith

Lilith once said:
"I am a fierce spirit of myriad names and many shapes."

Her names as elicited from her by Elijah. Lilith is said to have a score of names, only 17 of which she gave Elijah under duress.

ABEKO	ABITO	AMIZO
BATNA	ELIO	ITA
IZORPO	KALI	KEA
KOKOS	LILITH	ODAM
PARTASAH	PATROTA	PODO
SATRINA	TALTO

Comments:
According to some, there's supposedly a pattern in the Elijah names.
Something I which is rather interesting is the occurrence of the name "Kali" in this list, and I'm inclined to wonder where, assuming this to be more than a coincidence an Indian/Near Eastern cultural crossover could have occurred.
The name "Kokos" has a somewhat Greek feel to it, and there's a word in modern Greek "kakos", meaning "evil", which is quite similar. I'm afraid my ancient Greek is very sketchy, so I can't comment in relation to that. The "os" ending indicates the masculine.
The name "Odam" may relate to the name "Adam". Lilith was, according to some sources, originally one entity with Adam, split down the middle to create the two individuals.
"Podo" is somewhat reminiscent of the Greek "podia", meaning "feet". This could relate to her portrayal with owl's feet in some images, although this is pure supposition.

According to "Folk-Lore of the Holy Land" by J.E. Hanauer, Lilith's names include:

ABRO	AMIZ	AMIZU
AVITU	BITUAH	'IK
'ILS	KALEE'	KAKASH
KEMA	LILITH	PARTASHA
PETROTA	PODS	RAPHI
SATRINA(H)	HILTHOH

Comments:
Many of these seem to be bastardizations of the Elijah names.
The appearance of "Raphi" is quite interesting; in some talismans to ward against Lilith the angel Raphael is called upon, and in some versions of the legend, he was the angel sent to attempt to get her to return to Adam after she fled to the Red Sea.

Names of Lilith from "A Dictionary of Angels":

ABYZU	ALIO	ALU
ARDAD LILI	GALLU	GELOU
GILOU	LAMASSU	ZARIEL
ZEPHONITH

Comments:
"Lamassu" is a version of "Lamashtu", a name for Lilith in some parts of the Near and Middle East. Gallu","Gelou", and "Gilou" all appear as assorted versions of baby killing women or demonesses in the region's mythology, although in fact they appear not to be alternate names for Lilith, rather similar entities.

From Other Sources:

LABARTU	LAMASHTU	LILDTHA
LILI	LILIT	LILITU
LILLU	LILU	LILLAKE
MAID OF LILLA

She is also named in certain medieval texts as "Astaribo", she appears as "Avitue" in rabbinic lore, and "Bat Zuge" is a term for the evil Lilith when she is regarded as the 10th of the 10 unholy sephiroth or divine emanations issuing from the left side of God according to "The Zolhar".

She is also known by several titles and euphemisms:

BOGEY-WOLF	NIGHT HAG	SCREECH OWL
THE FLYING ONE	NIGHTJAR	WINGED
SHE-WOLF	CHILD STEALING WITCH	MAID OF DESOLATION
QUEEN OF ZEMARGAD	QUEEN OF SHEBA	FLYING-DEMONESS
