If logic does apply to breaking up the names of the gods. Then you could possibly imply the following:

heler = storm (clouds)
hu = sword / death
makt = warrior
math = wind
u = great / wild
rox = storm (desert)

Don't have the books to play with any others. Gavain

Makes perfect sense - thanks! I knew I was overlooking something obvious.
