Actually, it's two gums in one.

Each letter pair in a row of servient squares can be combined with a
third (I forget the formula off the top of my head) to form a goetic
name. The letters of the row read across form an angelic name. So RZLA
is angelic in the model, whereas RZ and LA are the roots of goetic
trigrammatons.
