Lehite GN 1. Place, ca. 74 BC (Alma 43:31, 35)

This entry is not finished

Etymology

Confer the biblical GN Riblah, with interchange of b and p (JH, JAT, RFS). In some Semitic languages [b] and [p] are not always differentiated in the script (Akkadian, especially when they close a syllable) and orally (Arabic where only [b] exists, thus โ€œboliceโ€ for โ€œpoliceโ€). Consult the standard biblical commentaries for the citations and the etymology. Note also Arabic rbl, โ€œfertile, abundantโ€ (RFS).

It may be that this GN is JAREDITE in origin because of the common element ribla- occuring exclusively in JAREDITE names.

Cf. Book of Mormon RIPLAKISH, RIPLIANCUM, LIB
