Etymology

Until a possible language origin for JAREDITE can be determined, all suggestions for etymologies of JAREDITE names must remain more speculative than substantive.

Various suggestions have been made, none of which are convincing: Old Akkadian (Ur III) river name ÍD E-ur-tum (GOA, 8) (JAT). Hebrew ḫarṭōm, meaning a "soothsayer-priests" a loan word into Hebrew from the Egyptian ḫr.tp "reader-priest and magician" (HALOT')[1] (RFS).

Variants

Deseret Alphabet: 𐐐𐐊𐐡𐐛𐐊𐐣 (hʌrθʌm)

Notes


  1. See the Neo-Assyrian borrowing ḫarṭibi, "dream interpreter" (AHw)
