| <pre>ANTINEPHILEHI
| | #REDIRECT[[ANTI-NEPHI-LEHI]] |
| | |
| Lamanite title/PN & gentilic 1. King whose father had converted, also brother of Lamoni, ca. 83 BC (Alma 24:3, 5)
| |
| | |
| 2. “People of AntiNephiLehi”, subjects of No. 1, also called AntiNephiLehies (q.v.) (Alma 24:1; 43:11)
| |
| | |
| When analyzing this composite name, the first question that should be asked is whether the first element, anti, is a translation or whether it is a transliteration
| |
| of a Nephite word.
| |
| | |
| Notes
| |
| If anti is a translation, the meaning could be “facing Nephi-Lehi,” from the Hebrew word that means approximately “anti,” (neged), i.e., “facing, opposite, etc.” (HWN).
| |
| It is the Hebrew Vorlage in Genesis 2:18 of “help meet.” (The Greek Vorlage of English “anti” can mean “opposite, against, in exchange, instead, representing, rivaling,
| |
| simulating.” See OED.) Perhaps from such considerations, it has been suggested that the significance of Anti-Nephi-Lehi is “those who imitate the teachings of the
| |
| descendants of Nephi and Lehi” (Ludlow, A Companion to Your Study of the Book of Mormon, 210).
| |
| | |
| It has also been suggested, *without attestation, that “Anta-Anti,” is an old Indian word, “a mountain region in the land of Nephi in the land of Lehi” (CBM, III, 366).
