    I recall spending some time discussing in private with someone about the following words: ordain, appoint, annoint. You also have similar or related words like endue, deputize, nominate. A king or priest might be annointed. But a governor-general might be appointed. That they used ordain was no doubt intentional. The word ordain seems reminiscent of order...ordinance.
