| '''Etymology'''
| |
| | |
| Until there is a critical text available, an etymology is difficult *(Pre1981 editions read [[Jeneum / Joneum Variant|J<small>ONEAM</small>]], while RLDS editions, based on the original Ms., had [[Jeneum / Joneum Variant|J<small>ONEUM</small>]]).
| |
| | |
| The best derivation, based on the current Book of Mormon edition, is to read a 3m.s. jussive of ''nʿm'', *”to speak oracles” ([[Robert F. Smith|RFS]]). See [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/jer/23/31#31 Jeremiah 23:31] for the verbal form.
| |
| | |
| Based on the former spelling, Joneam, “Jehovah is pleasant,” from the verbal root ''nʿm'', *”to be pleasant,” with prefixed theophoric element for Jehovah. Biblical PNs from
| |
| the verbal root include ''naʿamān'', Naaman, ''*noʿomī'', Naomi ([[Jo Ann Hackett|JH]]), and ''naʿam'', Naam, and its feminine counterpart, ''naʿamah'', Naamah (also a place-name) ([[John A. Tvedtnes|JAT]]).
| |
| | |
| In [http://scriptures.lds.org/en/luke/3/30#30 Luke 3:30], Jonan is reported as a descendant of [[DAVID|D<small>AVID</small>]] in tracing [[JESUS|J<small>ESUS</small>]]’ line ([[Jo Ann Hackett|JH]]).
| |
| | |
| Cf. Egyptian ''y3nwʿm'', EA ''yanuamma'', transliterations of Canaanite place name ''*yenôʿam'' (Albright, VESO, pp. 36, 447). The vowels of '''JENEUM''' are problematic, however
| |
| ([[John A. Tvedtnes|JAT]], [[Robert F. Smith|RFS]]).
| |
| | |
| Cf. [[NEUM|N<small>EUM</small>]], [[NEAS|N<small>EAS</small>]]?
