[B-Greek] Grandville sharp and Ha Elohim

I was wondering if hO QEOS in Titus 2:13 could be seen as a proper noun in light of Ha' Elohim in Hebrew.

I was translating a passage in Hebrew and I was using Walke and O Connor. p249 And they said the following about an article + a noun...

Sometimes, through usage, the article not only points out a particular person or thing, but it also elevates it to such a position of uniqueness that the noun + article combination becomes the equivalent of a proper name. Among English speakers, for example, in some communities 'the city' no longer designates one city out of many, but through usage denotes 'The City,' the only city in that area.

Then they go on to list Ha' Elohim as a proper name.  If ho QEOS is the same as Ha' Elohim, what does that do to Grandvilled Sharp's rule in Titus 2:13??  Because normally we don't think of hO Qeos as a proper noun.
