Etymology

See the suggestions for CUMENI and the discussion in the introduction concerning β€œ-hah.” If CUMENI is also a PN, and they are related to each other, then the meaning β€œcumin” seems highly improbable. Better would be the stem kmn with a meaning such as β€œhidden.” In Aramaic (cf. Daniel 11:43), the root means β€œto lie in ambush.” With the meaning β€œYahweh is hidden,” the name seems an unlikely one to give a child unless he was born at a particularly bad time (JH). At a time when the LDS Book of Mormon still read Camenihah, Nibley compared with β€œKhamunira,” an Amarna personal name, perhaps equivalent of Ammunira, perhaps bearing the same relationship as Book of Mormon Ammonihah/Old World Ammunira (HWN in LID 25–26).

Cf. Sanskrit and Persian kan, β€œdesire” (RFS).

For the byforms Cumeni/Cumenihah, cf. Book of Mormon MORONI/MORONIHAH and NEPHI/NEPHIHAH

Cf. Book of Mormon CUMENI, KISHKUMEN, KUMEN, KUMENONHI, COMNOR.

See CUMENIHAH.
