Etymology
Although the etymology of JAREDITE names is quite uncertain, one may suggest the common Semitic libb (cf. Heb. lēḇ), "heart; center, midst."
Urrutia suggests that this may be a variant of LEVI (q.v.), another JAREDITE name which he says is perhaps related to Hebrew lābīʾ, “lion,” believing that a number of JAREDITE names are related to the lion or leopard (NPSEHA 150.0 [Aug. 1982]). See LEVI.
Untenable is the suggestion of “whiteness” in Reynolds, Commentary on the Book of Mormon, VI, p. 46. In the Semitic languages “white” and its variations are formed around
the root lbn, where all three radicals are phonemic; therefore, the n cannot be arbitrarily dropped to obtain “LIB.”

RIPLAKISH, RIPLIANCUM, RIPLAH (RFS). Variants
