ANTUM Nephite (?) GN Land north of Desolation, where the hill Shim is located, ca. 321 AD (Mormon 1:3) Because Antum is north of the narrow neck of land, it may be Jaredite or an indigenous GN. An Egyptian etymology is also possible, *`n.tm(w), “many waters, 10,000 waters” (RFS). Notes Unlikely is Akkadian antum, female divinity and consort of Anum. The ending -um is a nominative singular case ending and would not have been borrowed into biblical Hebrew. The best known example of Hebrew borrowing from Akkadian, ekallum (itself a borrowing from Sumerian é.gal) > hkl, “temple, palace,” appears in Hebrew without the case ending. See also the king of Ashdod during Sennacherib’s Third Campaign, Mi-ti-in-ti (Col II, line 54). Cf. Book of Mormon Onti, AniAnti, Antiomno, Antion, Antionah, Antionum, Antiparah, Antipas, Antipus, AntiNephiLehi, Seantum, Moriantum, Coriantum, and especially Irreantum
