Etymology

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

Sumerian lib "(to be) rich, well-off; high quality; (to be) happy" = Akkadian hadû, hidiātu, râšu, rāšû, rīšātu.[1]

Sumerian lib "inner body part; heart" = Akkadian libbu, lib-bi "heart, center"[2] = Hebrew lēb, lēbāb.[3]

Sumerian lib "dazed silence, (deathly) silence; (to be) dazed" = Akkadian šaqummatu; cf. lib4 "agitate." Cf. Sumerian lib4-lib4 "plunderer."[4]
