‡ETHER Jaredite PN Prophet, prince, historian (Ether 1:2; 15:34) No etymology is suggested. If Jaredite names can be traced to Semitic roots, then the Hebrew GN ETHER in Joshua 15:42 and 19:7 may be appealed to for an etymology. There are three roots * `tr in Hebrew, one meaning “be abundant,” another “odor” and the third “pray, supplicate.” The latter might be an appropriate description of the Book of Mormon prophet ETHER (JAT). “Abundance” could also be an acceptable etymology (Reynolds, Commentary on the Book of Mormon, VI, p. 46). Cf. also West Semitic “Jether or ETHER” (HWN in SC, 195). Cf. Book of Mormon ETHEM, LIMHER, COHOR
