Etymology

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

Cf. KJV GN NIMRAH = HEBREW nimrā (Numbers 32:3), Beth-Nimrah (Numbers 32:36; Joshua 13:27).

Cf. Sumerian Nibruki (*NIBUR) = Nippur.
