1.

KORASH idolatrous god of (BofAbraham 1:6, facsimiles 1:4,8, 2:6)

Cf. Ugaritic qrš, which seems to be part of a holy place where sacrificial offerings are made.

Or hypothetical Hebrew כראש* *ke-roš “like a (human) head,” but in Seixas-style Sephardic pronunciation.

Or perhaps hypothetical Egyptian *kЗ-rs (pronounced ku-res or ku-ras) “spirit of the south” (in Hebrew transliteration in Isaiah 11:11 as -ros), reflecting its function as the canopic jar of the south (Egyptian ’Imśti, with human head in facsimiles 1:4, 8, and 2:6).
