'''Etymology'''

Until a possible language origin for [[JAREDITES|J<small>AREDITE</small>]] can be determined, all suggestions for etymologies of [[JAREDITES|J<small>AREDITE</small>]] names must remain more speculative than substantive.

'''G<small>ILGAL</small>''' is a [[JAREDITES|J<small>AREDITE</small>]]/Lehite city mentioned five times in the Book of Mormon. Though Semitic etymologies for this name (mentioned about forty times in the Old Testament) are uncertain, cf. [[HEBREW|H<small>EBREW</small>]] ''gilgāl'', "stone circle; wheel," from the [[HEBREW|H<small>EBREW</small>]] verbal root ''gālal'' "roll (stone) to, roll (stone) away"; cf. Ugaritic [[Personal Name|PN]] ''bn glgl''.
