Abel - able

Don't confuse - though it may not be common to do so - the homophones Abel and able.

• Abel (always with an upper case A) is a forename, not much used. Its origin is in the name of the second son of Adam and Eve - see Cain and Abel for the biblical story.
• able is the common English adjective meaning 'having the ability [to do something]', 'capable [of]', 'having the skill or strength etc [to do something]'.
