Nephite (?) GN 1. Land north of DESOLATION, where the hill SHIM is located, ca. 321 AD (Mormon 1:3)

This entry is not finished

Etymology

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), โ€œmany waters, 10,000 watersโ€ (RFS).

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 รฉ.gal) > hkl, โ€œtemple, palace,โ€ appears in Hebrew without the case ending.

See also the king of Ashdod during Sennacheribโ€™s Third Campaign, Mi-ti-in-ti (Col II, line 54).
