| Nephite GN | 1. | City on LAMANITE border, ca. 65 BC (Alma 56:14; 57:4) |
If the name can be divided anti- (for which see ANTINEPHILEHI) and -parah, it may be that the second element is prh, “cow,” which could be appropriate for a GN, “opposite the cow.” See the biblical GN Parah (Joshua 18:23) (RFS).
Other possible etymologies for -parah include Hebrew prʿ, “payment; to pay” (DNWSI 942); biblical PHARAOH, prʿh (for EGYPTIAN pr`3, “great house”) (RFS); EGYPTIAN ntyp3r`, “which is the sun (Ra)” (RFS); EGYPTIAN p3dip3r` for Potiphar or Potiphera (RFS); and EGYPTIAN ntypr'3, “who is Pharoah/king” (RFS).
Also possible are Hebrew *pera`, “commander, leader” and Arabic *far`ûn, “prince, head of family,” thus, or “head family” (RFS). Much less likely is an etymology based on Greek, such as *antipara, “contrarywise, opposite side”; *anti'pera, on the opposite side” (Luke 8:26); *antiara, “dispute” (RFS).
