One word carries both the weather sky and the religious heaven, the way French does, and only context separates them. Watch the near twin: without the final -o is the correlative meaning "in every way", a completely different job one letter away. The root gives ĉiela for heavenly and ĉielarko for a rainbow, literally a sky-arch, which is the sort of transparent compound that makes the language quick to read.
