Until Jaredite can be connected to a known, ancient language or culture, such guesses are at best plausible. The element Kish seems to be a Jaredite lexeme, though it may not be a separate lexeme in this name. See [[KISH]].
'''Etymology'''


If casting about for Hebrew possibilities is necessary, see the biblical PNs Achish in [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/1_sam/21/10#10 1 Samuel 21:10] (and in chapters [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/1_sam/27 27], [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/1_sam/28 28], [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/1_sam/29 29]) and Ikkesh in [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/2_sam/23/26#26 2 Samuel 23:26] (and in [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/1_chr/11/28 1 Chronicles 11:28]; [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/1_chr/27/9#9 27:9]). The former, from ''ʾkš'', is the Philistine king of Gath, and has been connected with the Aegean name Achish=Ikausu (See S. Gittin in Barry M. Gittlen, ed. 2002. Sacred Time, Sacred Place: Archaeology and the Religion of Israel [Winona Lake, IN: Eisenbrauns, 2002], 115). The later, from ''ʿqš'', has the root meaning “twisted” or “perverted,” and was the name of an Israelite (?) (RFS & JAT). Based on this last root, Akish would be a fine name for a wilderness (RFS).
Until possible language affinities for [[JAREDITES|J<small>AREDITE</small>]] names can be determined, all suggestions for etymologies of [[JAREDITES|J<small>AREDITE</small>]] names must remain more speculative than substantive. With that caveat, the onomasticon does offer etymologies for some [[JAREDITES|J<small>AREDITE</small>]] names, especially if it is possible that some [[JAREDITES|J<small>AREDITE</small>]] names were translated into [[NEPHITE(S)|N<small>EPHITE</small>]], or were otherwise related to one or more Semitic languages.


Cf. [[AGOSH]].
The Jaredite name and word-element [[KISH|K<small>ISH</small>]] appears to have a Jaredite root, though it may not be a separate root in this name. See [[KISH|K<small>ISH</small>]], [[KISHKUMEN|K<small>ISHKUMEN</small>]]. [[KISH|K<small>ISH</small>]] is also the name of a major Mesopotamian city near Babylon ([[Robert F. Smith|RFS]]). '''A<small>KISH</small>''' and [[AGOSH|A<small>GOSH</small>]] may be possible by-forms of each other.
 
The [[Personal Name|PN]] ''Ikausu'' appears in the [[ASSYRIAN|A<small>SSYRIAN</small>]] annals of Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal. The [[HEBREW|H<small>EBREW</small>]] [[Personal Name|PN]] עקש ''Ikkesh'', cited in [http://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/2-sam/23.26?lang=eng#25 2 Samuel 23:26] and [http://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/1-chr/11.28?lang=eng#27 1 Chronicles 11:28]; [http://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/1-chr/27.9?lang=eng#8 27:9], is from the [[HEBREW|H<small>EBREW</small>]] root עקש ''ʿqš'', "twist, pervert" ([[Robert F. Smith|RFS]] & [[John A. Tvedtnes|JAT]]) and would be a very acceptable name for a wilderness ([[Robert F. Smith|RFS]]). The biblical [[Personal Name|PN]] אכיש Achish, cited in [http://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/1-sam/21.10?lang=eng#9 1 Samuel 21:10] (and in chapters 27-29 passim), is the name of the [[PHILISTINES|P<small>HILISTINE</small>]] king of Gath (as well as the [[Personal Name|PN]] of a seventh century B.C. ruler of Ekron, not otherwise cited in the Old Testament) and has been connected with the Aegean name ''Achish'' = ''Ikausu.'' <ref>See S.

Kish is the name of a major Mesopotamian city near Babylon (RFS). See the Egyptian Hittite name for Cyprus, Akish (HWN in LID 33, ABM 238). Reynolds, CBM VI, 41, suggests Semitic, “akash,” to be froward, false.

Jaredite PN 1. Son of KIMNOR (Ether 8:10, 11 (x2), 13, 14 (x2), 15 (x2), 17 (x2); 9:1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11 (x3), 12 (x2))
Jaredite GN 2. Wilderness near the plains of AGOSH and HESHLON (Ether 14:3, 4, 14)

Etymology

Until possible language affinities for JAREDITE names can be determined, all suggestions for etymologies of JAREDITE names must remain more speculative than substantive. With that caveat, the onomasticon does offer etymologies for some JAREDITE names, especially if it is possible that some JAREDITE names were translated into NEPHITE, or were otherwise related to one or more Semitic languages.

The Jaredite name and word-element KISH appears to have a Jaredite root, though it may not be a separate root in this name. See KISH, KISHKUMEN. KISH is also the name of a major Mesopotamian city near Babylon (RFS). AKISH and AGOSH may be possible by-forms of each other.

The PN Ikausu appears in the ASSYRIAN annals of Esarhaddon and Ashurbanipal. The HEBREW PN עקש Ikkesh, cited in 2 Samuel 23:26 and 1 Chronicles 11:28; 27:9, is from the HEBREW root עקש ʿqš, "twist, pervert" (RFS & JAT) and would be a very acceptable name for a wilderness (RFS). The biblical PN אכיש Achish, cited in 1 Samuel 21:10 (and in chapters 27-29 passim), is the name of the PHILISTINE king of Gath (as well as the PN of a seventh century B.C. ruler of Ekron, not otherwise cited in the Old Testament) and has been connected with the Aegean name Achish = Ikausu. [1] AKISH is also, according to Nibley, the Egypto-Hittite name for Cyprus [2]
