Mr. Lyons: If you'd like me to give a grade to your translation before I close this query, feel free to post it in the answer section (as of now it is only in the "discussion entry" section). Thank you, Martin Hoffman
Martin Hoffman (asker) Sep 20, 2014:
That is correct, thank you! I just verified in Le Trésor (http://www.cnrtl.fr/definition/animation) that the definition matches up:

b) THÉOL. [Chez les hommes] ,,Le fait de l'union de l'âme à un corps organisé. Le corps est animé dès que l'âme vient en lui.`` (Théol. cath. t. 1, 1 1909). L'animation du fœtus.
♦ Animation immédiate, animation médiate :
4. Les partisans de l'animation immédiate affirment que c'est au moment même de la conception que l'âme est créée et unie au corps. Les partisans de l'animation médiate retardent l'entrée de l'âme dans le corps et la fixent à l'époque (...) où le corps est construit, du moins dans ses organes principaux. Théol. cath. t. 1, 11909.
DLyons Sep 20, 2014:
"animation" I expect. The process of formation of the âme.

lumière > éclairage !
Note from asker:
Gee, thanks for your "enlumièrement" on that point, Leman!
I have to say: your reply really gave me quite a bit of "enjoiement" :-)))
Dieu dit: Que l'éclairage soit ! Et l'éclairage fut. Et Dieu vit que l'éclairage était bon.

neutral writeaway : ah, how simple translation would be if logic could be applied to languages.

Si vous étudiez l'arabe vous allez comprendre!
neutral DLyons : You're thinking of سورة الحجر , specifically 15:29?//Yes, that works. Here though I expect that the derivation is from Latin "anima".

No, I was thinking of the verbal noun of form II, tafعiil.
