Etymology

OMNER might be composed of HEBREW ʿam from ʿmm “people, kinsman”, and HEBREW nēr “light”, as in Abner “Father-is-Light.” OMNER could then mean, approximately “The (Divine) Kinsman is Light.” (JH) The initial vowel o in OMNER and the a in HEBREW ʿam is not an issue, especially given the English pronunciation of OMNER in the 1869 Deseret Alphabet edition, ɒmnɛr (IPA = ͻmnɛr, or amner in SBL transliteration), where with the initial vowel is pronounced as the a in watch.

See TEOMNER, TEANCUM, PAANCHI, PACHUS, PAHORAN, AMNOR, COMNOR, OMNI.
