The biblical Hebrew PN Heth, son of Canaan, is the most likely source for an etymology.[1] See the standard biblical commentaries. Reynolds, Commentary on the Book of Mormon, VI, p. 40, suggests “terror.”
Notes
- ↑ Note that Heth is usually given as the biblical source for the biblical Hittites, ḫattū in Akkadian, and the name in cuneiform sources for NW Syria (RFS).
