From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Will \Will\, n. [OE. wille, AS. willa; akin to OFries. willa,
      OS. willeo, willio, D. wil, G. wille, Icel. vili, Dan.
      villie, Sw. vilja, Goth wilja. See {Will}, v.]
      1. The power of choosing; the faculty or endowment of the
            soul by which it is capable of choosing; the faculty or
            power of the mind by which we decide to do or not to do;
            the power or faculty of preferring or selecting one of two
            or more objects.
  
                     It is necessary to form a distinct notion of what is
                     meant by the word [bd]volition[b8] in order to
                     understand the import of the word will, for this
                     last word expresses the power of mind of which
                     [bd]volition[b8] is the act.               --Stewart.
  
                     Will is an ambiguous word, being sometimes put for
                     the faculty of willing; sometimes for the act of
                     that faculty, besides [having] other meanings. But
                     [bd]volition[b8] always signifies the act of
                     willing, and nothing else.                  --Reid.
  
                     Appetite is the will's solicitor, and the will is
                     appetite's controller; what we covet according to
                     the one, by the other we often reject. --Hooker.
  
                     The will is plainly that by which the mind chooses
                     anything.                                          --J. Edwards.
  
      2. The choice which is made; a determination or preference
            which results from the act or exercise of the power of
            choice; a volition.
  
                     The word [bd]will,[b8] however, is not always used
                     in this its proper acceptation, but is frequently
                     substituted for [bd]volition[b8], as when I say that
                     my hand mover in obedience to my will. --Stewart.
  
      3. The choice or determination of one who has authority; a
            decree; a command; discretionary pleasure.
  
                     Thy will be done.                              --Matt. vi.
                                                                              10.
  
                     Our prayers should be according to the will of God.
                                                                              --Law.
  
      4. Strong wish or inclination; desire; purpose.
  
      Note: [bd]Inclination is another word with which will is
               frequently confounded. Thus, when the apothecary says,
               in Romeo and Juliet,
  
                        My poverty, but not my will, consents; . . . Put
                        this in any liquid thing you will, And drink it
                        off. the word will is plainly used as, synonymous
               with inclination; not in the strict logical sense, as
               the immediate antecedent of action. It is with the same
               latitude that the word is used in common conversation,
               when we speak of doing a thing which duty prescribes,
               against one's own will; or when we speak of doing a
               thing willingly or unwillingly.[b8] --Stewart.
  
      5. That which is strongly wished or desired.
  
                     What's your will, good friar?            --Shak.
  
                     The mariner hath his will.                  --Coleridge.
  
      6. Arbitrary disposal; power to control, dispose, or
            determine.
  
                     Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies.
                                                                              --Ps. xxvii.
                                                                              12.
  
      7. (Law) The legal declaration of a person's mind as to the
            manner in which he would have his property or estate
            disposed of after his death; the written instrument,
            legally executed, by which a man makes disposition of his
            estate, to take effect after his death; testament; devise.
            See the Note under {Testament}, 1.
  
      Note: Wills are written or nuncupative, that is, oral. See
               {Nuncupative will}, under {Nuncupative}.
  
      {At will} (Law), at pleasure. To hold an estate at the will
            of another, is to enjoy the possession at his pleasure,
            and be liable to be ousted at any time by the lessor or
            proprietor. An estate at will is at the will of both
            parties.
  
      {Good will}. See under {Good}.
  
      {Ill will}, enmity; unfriendliness; malevolence.
  
      {To have one's will}, to obtain what is desired; to do what
            one pleases.
  
      {Will worship}, worship according to the dictates of the will
            or fancy; formal worship. [Obs.]
  
      {Will worshiper}, one who offers will worship. [Obs.] --Jer.
            Taylor.
  
      {With a will}, with willingness and zeal; with all one's
            heart or strength; earnestly; heartily.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   Goedel
  
      (After the mathematician {Kurt Gödel}) A
      {declarative}, general-purpose language for {artificial
      intelligence} based on {logic programming}.   It can be
      regarded as a successor to {Prolog}.   The {type system} is
      based on {many-sorted logic} with {parametric polymorphism}.
      Modularity is supported, as well as {infinite precision
      arithmetic} and {finite set}s.
  
      Goedel has a rich collection of system {modules} and provides
      {constraint} solving in several domains.   It also offers
      {metalogical} facilities that provide significant support for
      {metaprogram}s that do analysis, transformation, compilation,
      verification, and debugging.
  
      A significant subset of Goedel has been implemented on top of
      {SISCtus Prolog} by Jiwei Wang .

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Gaddiel
      fortune (i.e., sent) of God, the representative of the tribe of
      Zebulum among the twelve spies (Num. 13:10).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Gedaliah
      made great by Jehovah. (1.) the son of Jeduthum (1 Chr. 25:3,
      9). (2.) The grandfather of the prophet Zephaniah, and the
      father of Cushi (Zeph. 1:1). (3.) One of the Jewish nobles who
      conspired against Jeremiah (Jer. 38:1). (4.) The son of Ahikam,
      and grandson of Shaphan, secretary of king Josiah (Jer. 26:24).
      After the destruction of Jerusalem (see {ZEDEKIAH}),
      Nebuchadnezzar left him to govern the country as tributary to
      him (2 Kings 25:22; Jer. 40:5; 52:16). Ishmael, however, at the
      head of a party of the royal family, "Jewish irreconcilables",
      rose against him, and slew him and "all the Jews that were with
      him" (Jer. 41:2, 3) at Mizpah about three months after the
      destruction of Jerusalem. He and his band also plundered the
      town of Mizpah, and carried off many captives. He was, however,
      overtaken by Johanan and routed. He fled with such of his
      followers as escaped to the Ammonites (41:15). The little
      remnant of the Jews now fled to Egypt.
