CORIHOR Jaredite PN & GN 1. King, usurper (Ether 7:3; 7:15) 2. Soldier, ca. 700–600 BC (Ether 13:17) 3. Land and valley (Ether 14:27–28) No etymology for this Jaredite name is suggested. Highly doubtful are suggestions based on Semitic derivations, such as Old Akkadian ḫuriānum, a plant, ḫurium (Gelb, 132) and ḫurrum, “hole, mine” (Gelb, 133) (JAT). Cf. Book of Mormon Corom, et al., Korihor
